Amazing place! Tons of shops (they close early off-season, plan accordingly!), tons of restaurants, dessert places, and everywhere you look is picturesque!! Love this area

Lovely historic downtown Venice is a short, relaxing walk with quaint shops, colorful murals and statues for fantastic photo-ops!

Shops were great. So many shops to see. Food everywhere. Nice folks. Had drinks and spent money. Had fun. Art work at every street corner.

We were shopping here this afternoon. There was a woman buying a wood vase with a glass cylinder in the middle. The clerk dropped the glass cylinder shattering it all over the floor. The owner came out of the back and was very upset. The customer asked her to discount it because she still liked the wood vase. The owner said I’ll just take it home. It’s one of a kind. So the customer said she would still buy it at full price but thought that was terrible. We agreed & left the store. No way we are shopping here again!

Is there live music in historic Venice since Covid 19?

hughes7094 | Sep 2, 2021
Historic Downtown Venice, FL | Sep 2, 2021

The City of Venice has permitted Venice MainStreet, Inc. to do tightly restricted concerts at the gazebo that are ticketed events for a particular amount of people within a roped off area. Masks are required within the space and groups of 6 or less are spaced 6 feet apart. For more information please visit https://www.visitvenicefl.org/friday-night-concert-series-2020-2021/. Some live music on the sidewalks has happened during Venice MainStreet's shopping promotions for the downtown district, such as Shoptember, Classic Evenings on the Avenue, and the Christmas Walk. You can contact the City of Venice Municipal Government directly to find out if they are permitting any other musicians at the gazebo (941-846-2626).

What are the best months to be in Venice?

martha tria | Sep 2, 2020
Historic Downtown Venice, FL | Sep 2, 2020

It is a great place to visit year-round. The winter months (November-March) are the most popular due to the beautiful weather. Shops are open later and there are more events. The trade off is there are more people visiting during the peak of season. The summer months are quieter but the temperatures can be in the high 80s to low 90s. October and April are cooler months and are just at the beginning and end of the peak season, so that's a good time to be here.

How does one get around? Are there buses or a taxi service? Pardon all the questions. I have been told that this is a great community to live in and to purchase a condo in but I am wondering if a car is required.

Merika Skirko | Sep 3, 2019
Caramine Kellam | Sep 3, 2019

I would think that a car would be a necessity in order to get downtown, even if you purchase a residence on the island. It is a lovely town but I'm sure you would want to rent something for a while before deciding to jump in with both feet. Punta Gorda is similar in that one car and a pair of hood walking shoes is all that's needed.
