Venice in July

When to go

July is warm in Venice's climate normals listed here, with some rain days, so check a forecast closer to your dates. Besides its Blue and Orange airport lines, Alilaguna's home page also lists a seasonal summer airport line, the Red Line, so check its timetables for the days you travel. The city's access-fee site says its trial period has ended and that any fee in later years is for the city to decide, so check that site before you travel, especially for a day trip.
