Historical Veneto regional averages, not a forecast or a measure of queues. Overnight demand compares average stays per day. The whole Veneto: Venice and its lagoon, Verona, Padua, the east shore of Lake Garda, the Dolomites around Cortina, and the beach resorts of Jesolo, Caorle and Bibione. The beaches empty after summer, so Venice itself stays busier in spring and autumn than these regional figures show.

Visitor season

Hotel price season
Will it be cheaper?
About usual. The regional index has no room-rate baseline in euros.
Fewer overnight stays do not automatically mean cheaper rooms. Check actual quotes for your trip.

Crowds: Eurostat nights spent at tourist accommodation, by month and NUTS 2 region, 2024–2025 average. Overnight visitors per night is the month's nights divided by its days; the per-1,000 figure is Eurostat's, against each year's population. Platform rentals: Eurostat nights booked via Airbnb, Booking, Expedia and Tripadvisor, 2024–2025 average, shown separately because some properties are in both counts. Weather: Holiday Climate Index computed from ERA5 reanalysis with daily highs, night lows and rain days corrected from open national weather-service station records, 2011–2025, population-weighted to the region; day-by-day figures are the same data averaged by date. Heat and rain odds are counted across those years. Sunrise and sunset: NOAA solar equations, local time. Prices: Eurostat price level index and HICP, national; the first figure is regional (ISTAT, NIC consumer price index for accommodation services (ECOICOP 112), by region).
