IMO going places in low season is definitely the way to go, and not just price-wise. I would abhor a place like Venice in August with high temperatures and shoulder-rubbing with the teeming masses. On the other hand, walking around Venice on New Year's morning when the place is absolutely deserted is one of those images that tends to stick for a lifetime!
