How Far in Advance Should You Book?

Venice's best venues, private palazzos, exclusive terraces, premium gondola services, book well in advance, particularly in spring and autumn. We recommend beginning your planning process at least 3–4 months before your target date. For June, July, September, and October, the most sought-after months, six months is a safe minimum.
