Venice Carnival in February

Although one of the cooler months in the year (and boy has it been cold this last week here in Venice just like in the rest of Europe) February is one of my favourite months in Venice - and Venice Carnival has a lot to do with it.

This year this Carnival is set for the 6th through to 16th February Venice Carnivaland snow or not, the event should go ahead. There are fewer tourist in Venice in the winter months although carnival time does attract a number. Venice Carnival is a one of the best times to experience some of the local culture and simultaneously enjoy Venice and the bars, restaurants and attractions.

There is normally a special Ball which takes place in conjunction with the carnival and the ball itself is considered by many to be one of the highlights of the whole festival. You can learn more online from the official Venice Carnival website and accommodation in Venice for the event is also available online.
