Fog delayed our water taxi transfer by nearly an hour on arrival and the kids got restless waiting at the dock, the rest of the stay more than made up for it.
Hidden little campo squares away from the main routes gave us proper quiet family time away from the crowds.
December in Venice is cold but wonderfully quiet, we barely had to queue anywhere which made travelling with grandparents so much easier. The gondola ride felt almost private with so few other tourists around. St Mark's Square still had its usual chaos of pigeons, much to my daughter's delight. Winter isn't the obvious choice for a family trip here but it worked out beautifully for us.
We loved the canals and the pigeons in the square, but the winter fog on our first afternoon made photos come out grey and flat, and it dampened the mood a little before it lifted. Once the sun broke through the next day everything felt magical again.
My daughter spent our whole first morning chasing pigeons across St Mark's Square, pure joy.
The water taxi to the hotel door was a brilliant start, and the kids loved spotting boats instead of cars. Venice in winter suited us, cold but calm, and the whole family slept well after long days of walking.
