November is the rainiest month and Venice can see acqua alta (flooding) — waterproof boots help. Crowds and prices drop. Pack a warm jacket and sweaters.

What's on in November

High tides can flood St Mark's Square; raised walkways appear and shops sell plastic over-boots. Waterproof boots are the smarter choice.

Dress code

  • Shoulders and knees must be covered in churches and the Vatican — guards turn people away.
  • Carry a light scarf or shawl in summer to cover up quickly.
  • Swimwear and bare chests are for the beach only; some towns fine people walking around in them.
