Italy is a bucket list destination, packed with incredible culture, delicious food and charming natural vistas.
There are so many beautiful Italian cities that it seems impossible to choose just one.
The good news is that traveling between the US and Italy is easier than ever.
And now Delta introduces 2 new flights between the US and this iconic Italian destination:
Delta flights to Venice
Venice is one of Italy’s most iconic cities.
Travelers in New York can now easily fly between New York JFK and Venice Marco Polo Airport.
This flight operates every day, departing New York at 8:55 PM and landing in Venice at 10:15 AM the next day.
The return leg of the trip departs Venice at 12:15 PM and arrives in JFK at 5:05 PM.
For the airplane nerds among us: this flight is operated with a Boeing 767-300 aircraft with 216 seats.
If that’s not enough, Delta is also offering two daily flights between Venice and Atlanta for the first time.
The airline’s nonstop service between Venice and Atlanta will resume later this month, expanding to two flights per day during the summer months.
What does this mean for American travelers to Venice?
This summer, Delta will operate 17 flights per week between Venice and the US, making it easier than ever to visit Venice for a summer vacation full of culture and romance.
The popularity of the floating city
Venice is one of the most beautiful and iconic destinations in Italy, attracting millions of visitors every year.
In fact, it attracts so many visitors that travelers will have to pay a tourist tax to enter the city this year in an effort to combat overtourism.
Don’t worry, this won’t break the bank. To enter the island of Venice between 8:30 am and 4:00 pm you have to pay 5 euros per day.
Although this fee will not be officially introduced until 2025, it will be tested throughout 2024. The current test days are May 11, 12, 18, 19, 19, 25 and 26.
You must pay this tax before arrival, but the good news is that it is incredibly easy to do. Just visit the dedicated website https://cda.ve.it/en/
Why visit Venice?
Venice is a fascinating, breathtakingly beautiful city. The waterways have been capturing the hearts and minds of tourists for generations.
It is a small city with large palaces and old buildings that seem to emerge from the water.
There are no roads in Venice, so traveling by boat (or, if you can afford the luxury, a gondola) is one of the best ways to navigate the city.
There are approximately 177 different canals to explore in the city, and each offers a unique perspective.
Because Venice is such a compact city, it is easy to explore in a relatively short time.
It has many narrow alleys and ancient streets, and getting lost while exploring these is part of the adventure of spending time in the city.
Venice is a great destination all year round thanks to its Mediterranean climate.
Although the winter months can be cooler and foggier, that only adds to the city’s romantic, old-world feel.
And the city is also generally quieter in the winter and spring months, with the hottest summer months also being the busiest.
Some of the main attractions in Venice include the Rialto Bridge, Piazzo San Marco and the Doge’s Palace.
Art and culture enthusiasts should also explore the galleries and museums such as the Galleria dell’Accademia, Museo Correr and the Venetian Guggenheim Collection.
