Avoid the most hectic tourist times by visiting in November.

If you are on a budget, you can visit during the winter months.
You can reach Venice by train, car or plane. Venice Marco Polo Airport is the nearest airport. From there, you can fetch a taxi to reach the city center. Different trains are available that will take you to the Venice Santa Lucia station. Also, keep in mind that cars are not allowed in Venice’s city center.

For day-to-day travel, opt for a ferry. The city’s ferry systems are extensive, run regularly, and are a cheap way of getting from A to B in a hurry.
