Venice
Reaching Venice from Milan emits 7.2 kg CO₂e return by rail (5h 24m each way) against 61.7 kg by air — 9× the carbon. It averages 25.4 °C in July and 4.6 °C in January.

When to go
Venice is warmest in July at 25.4 °C, and that is also its brightest month. Its coldest is January at 4.6 °C.
Staying there
A hotel room in Italy emits about 14.3 kg CO₂e per night under UK Government 2026 factors, so a week adds roughly 100 kg — about 13.9× the carbon of getting there by rail from Milan.
How busy it gets
Venezia records 46.2 overnight stays per resident a year (38,555,987 nights in 2025). That is heavy tourist pressure — among the densest in Europe.
Eurostat, nights spent at tourist accommodation by NUTS 3 region, against resident population. Shown for context only — it plays no part in which destinations appear or in what order. Eurostat does not cover the United Kingdom after 2016, nor North Africa or the Levant at all, so this figure is absent for roughly a third of the destinations here.
