Florence and Venice
The verdict for November
Florence’s wettest month, and one of its quietest.
+Low crowds + good prices
–Florence’s wettest month of the year
November is Florence’s wettest month, but also one of its quietest. Museums are easy to visit without crowds, and it is a good-value window before December’s festive prices begin.
Quiet and atmospheric, with the highest acqua alta risk.
+Low crowds + good prices
–Venice’s highest acqua alta risk of the year
November is quiet and good value, with the Festa della Salute on 21 November drawing locals across a pontoon bridge to the Salute church. It is also the month with the highest chance of acqua alta flooding.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
