July in Venice: A travel guide
July is the perfect month to visit Venice: the days are longer, the weather is warm but pleasant, the lagoon sparkles under the sun, and the city comes alive with cultural events and authentic traditions. If you’re planning a trip during this time, here is a helpful guide to discover the best of what Venice has to offer – and why Contemporaneo Venice is the perfect base for your experience.
Why visit Venice in july
July strikes the ideal balance between great weather and moderate tourist crowds. Temperatures range between 20°C and 28°C (68°F–82°F), humidity is still manageable, and the city is buzzing with cultural activity. This is when Venice fully expresses its vibrant character – from contemporary art to historical celebrations and peaceful walks through winding alleyways.
Must-see events and highlights
1. La Biennale Arte
For contemporary art lovers, the Venice Biennale is unmissable. Running from April to November, July marks its peak season, with exhibitions, installations, and performances taking place all over the city. Staying close to the Arsenale or Giardini can make a difference: Contemporaneo Venice offers a strategic location just minutes away from the main venues.
2. The Festa della Sensa
Held in early July, this traditional festival re-enacts the ancient “Marriage of the Sea” ceremony, symbolizing the historic bond between Venice and the sea. Expect solemn rituals, traditional boat parades, and a unique atmosphere that brings the city’s past to life.
3. Vogalonga
A lively and colorful rowing event where hundreds of traditional boats glide through the Grand Canal in a joyful celebration of Venetian rowing culture – all without motors. A spectacular and authentic way to admire Venice from the water.
