Visiting Venice in late August

Frequent trains connect Padova and Venezia Santa Lucia station, on the Grand Canal. Here is what to know for your dates.

  • Access fee: the 2027 calendar approved by the City of Venice runs until 15 August, so it does not cover the congress period. Check the City of Venice website before you travel.
  • Biennale Architettura 2027: open until 21 November at the Giardini and Arsenale, closed on Mondays. Details and tickets.
  • Venice International Film Festival: usually held on the Lido from late August. Check the 2027 dates.

Sounds of Venice

Across the centuries, Venice has been a laboratory of sound. In Saint Mark’s Basilica, composers such as Giovanni Gabrieli wrote music for separated choirs, using the space itself as an instrument.
