2011 Venice Carnival

Coach holiday in Italy - 9 days

Each February Venice hosts one of Europe’s largest and most glamorous carnivals with an explosion of personalities embodied by colourful and contemporary mask wearers. The city comes alive with elaborate entertainment, music, pantomimes, parties and infamous masked balls. Nearby, the romantic city of Verona celebrates an equally extravagant but lesser known festival with a procession led by ‘Papà del Gnoco’. These two cities are inspirational all year round but the extravaganza of elaborate costumes and masks during carnival time are not to be missed!
