Why you should spend Carnival in Venice?<\/h2>\n

Let’s see why Carnival is so important in Venice, in other words what are the features of the event that attracts \u00a0thousands of people <\/strong>every year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere of the city changes during Carnival, squares are full of masks, in calli and squares there are plenty of confetti and venetians canals are illuminated by the lights of this event. Carnival’s atmoshere<\/strong> starts from January, waiting for one of the most important events of the world.<\/p>\n

Read this post to find out the unique opportunity of a Carnival in Venice<\/strong>: if you want to spend some days in Venice during this event, you will live a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will remember forever.<\/p>\n

History of Carnival of Venice<\/h2>\n

This event has an ancient origin. Have you ever asked yourself what is the meaning of the word “Carnevale”? Let’s see some information to be ready for this event and live it as best as you can.<\/p>\n

Here there are 3 curiosities<\/strong> about it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Carnival is a term that according to the experts can derive either from “carrum novalis” or “naval cart”, an allegorical chariot shaped like a boat with which the ancient Romans inaugurated their commemorations, both from “carnem-levare” that is, “remove the meat” referring to the period that precedes Lent.<\/li>\n
  2. This festival was made “public festival” only at the end of 1200 and is still celebrated only in Catholic countries.<\/li>\n
  3. Carnival has a basic theme, that is the inspiration for parties and events.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now that you know something more about it you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere that this event creates, but first of all\u00a0let’s see how to plan this holiday.<\/p>\n

    \"carnevale<\/h2>\n

    Let’s start to plan your Carnival holiday<\/h2>\n

    First of all, you need to know how to arrive in Venice. Organizing early will allow you to book transports and hotels and benefit from cheaper prices and wider availabilities.<\/p>\n

    Venice has a lot of alternatives, for both places to stay and “how to get to”.<\/p>\n

    Flight and train<\/h3>\n

    There are two main alternatives<\/strong> to get to Venice and start enjoying your picturesque holiday: airplane and train.<\/p>\n

    The plane is definitely a good alternative for those who decide to leave from all those Italian cities that are not close to the Serenissima. It is in fact inadvisable to make 4 or more hours of train ((for example from Rome), especially if it is full of people, and it will be on the occasion of the Venetian Carnival. The flight can also be a good choice to save time<\/strong>, it will allow you to arrive directly at the Marco Polo airport in Venice.<\/p>\n

    The train is the most common means of transport, used by thousands of tourists who want to participate in this event, perhaps staying a few days in the city.
    \nThis alternative that will ensure you a good price<\/strong> is suitable for all those who are not particularly distant from Veneto region. Unfortunately during the Venetian Carnival you may find crowded trains, so we suggest you to book early<\/strong>, especially for trains like the regional ones. Once you arrive at the Santa Lucia station you will be very close to the historic center. For timetables and rates of regional trains and Frecce (high speed train), look at the Trenitalia website<\/a>. With Trenitalia if you book in advance (a few months) you can take advantage of strong discounts on the standard Frecciabianca and Frecciarossa trains, taking advantage of the “Super Economy” and “Economy” rates. If you are sure of the dates (these preferential rates do not generally allow the date \/ train change), the discount is significant.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Accomodation for Carnival<\/h3>\n

    If you have already organized the transports and you are only interested in hotels or accomodation for a short vacation in Venice, we will find the best offers for you.<\/p>\n

    It could be an hard challenge, especially for Venice Carnival 2023, because there are a lot of people and for that period the accomodation will have a lot of requests.<\/p>\n

    Most of the parties and folklore will be located in San Marco Square, so we can immediately say that “the ideal hotel” should be in this district. Unfortunately, the proximity to this central area leads to the inevitable increase in prices compared to the average. Our tip to save money is to move away from the center to find cheaper prices, but be careful: choose a convenient area and \/ or near a pier for ferry boats. The Venetian streets will be very crowded on Carnival days, so even a short walk can be challenging.<\/p>\n
