Italy is a bucket list destination packed full of incredible culture, delicious food, and charming natural vistas.

There are so many beautiful Italian cities that it can feel impossible to choose just one.  

The good news is that traveling between the U.S. and Italy is easier than ever.  

And now Delta is introducing 2 new flights between the U.S. and this iconic Italian destination:  

Delta Flights To Venice  

Venice is one of the most iconic cities in Italy. 

Travelers in New York can now fly with ease between New York JFK and Venice Marco Polo Airport.  

This flight will operate every day, departing from New York at 8.55 pm and landing in Venice at 10.15 am the next day.

The return leg of the journey will depart from Venice at 12.15 pm and arrive in JFK at 5.05 pm.  

For the plane geeks among us, this flight will operate using a Boeing 767-300 aircraft with 216 seats.  

If that’s not enough, then for the first time, Delta will also offer 2 daily flights between Venice and Atlanta too.

Later this month, the airline’s nonstop service between Venice and Atlanta will resume, and then in the summer months, this will increase to 2 flights per day.  

What does this mean for U.S. travelers to Venice?  

This summer, Delta will operate 17 flights a week between Venice and the U.S., making it easier than ever to visit Venice for a summer vacation packed full of culture and romance.  

The Popularity Of The Floating City  

Venice is one of the most beautiful and iconic destinations in Italy, and it attracts millions of visitors each year.  

In fact, it attracts so many visitors that this year, travelers will have to pay a tourist tax to enter the city in a bid to combat overtourism.

Don’t worry this won’t break the bank. You’ll have to pay 5 euros per day to enter the island of Venice between 8:30 and 16:00. 

Although this fee won’t be officially introduced until 2025 it will be tested throughout 2024. The current test days will be May 11, 12, 18, 19, 19, 25 and 26.  

You have to pay this tax in advance of your 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 captivating, breathtakingly beautiful city. Its waterways have captured the hearts and minds of tourists for generations.  

It is a small city of grand 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 around 177 different canals to explore in the city, and each offers a unique perspective.  

Because Venice is such a compact city, it’s easy to explore in a relatively short period of time.

It has lots of narrow alleys and ancient streets, and getting lost as you explore these is part of the adventure of spending time in the city.  

Venice is a great year-round destination thanks to its Mediterranean climate.

Although the winter months can be cooler and misty, that only adds to the romantic, old-world feel of the city.

And the city tends to be quieter during the winter and spring months too, with the hottest summer months also being the most crowded.  

Some of the main attractions in Venice include the Rialto Bridge, Piazzo San Marco, and the Doge’s Palace.

Fans of art and culture should also explore the galleries and museums such as the Galleria dell’Accademia, Museo Correr, and the Venician Guggenheim collection.
