Of course, there are better and worst months to visit Venice, but this shouldn’t prevent you from spending a weekend in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

November is a melancholic month; it’s a time of the year where the fog starts to show up, and the rain becomes consistent. But the atmosphere, during this period, is unique and the city becomes magical and mysterious.

Let’s clarify a couple of things about visiting Venice in November and the things you can do here in this month.

First of all, let’s talk about the Venetian weather. November is the month of the high water, the fog, and the rain. Be sure to put some extra jumper and shoes inside your suitcase before leaving your place, since the humidity is pretty intense here.

In case you find the high water on your way, you can buy a disposable pair of boots in several shops on the street, and keep on enjoying your holiday in Venice.

Things to do in Venice in November

There are a lot of things you can do in Venice in November, both classical and traditional. In fact, if you come here around November 21, you’ll have the chance to attend a participated feast in Venice: the Madonna della Salute Festival.

It’s a feast related to a terrible event that happened in Venice in 1630. Venice was brought to its knees by a massive epidemic of plague and the doge of that time decided to build an incredible church to thank the Lady to have saved the city.

A temporary votive bridge, made of boats, connects the San Moisé to Madonna del Giglio to let people reach the basilica easier.
