In 1162 with a victory celebration over its enemy, the Patriarch of Aquileia, Venice Carnival began. The people of Venice gathered in Saint Mark’s Square to dance & celebrate the victory. They have celebrated ever since, most revelers probably have no idea how it began, it’s simply an excuse to have a lot of fun!
When is the best time to go? The festivities don’t stop or slow down for the entire Carnival, so there is no bad time to visit. If you want to attend one of the various walking tours or boat tours, you may want to plan to come in the middle of the Carnival. The beginning & end of the Carnival tends to attract more tourists.
If you are interested in visiting Venice during Carnival give me a call. I’m sure you have dozens of questions & I’ve got the answers. We could start planning for 2022!
