Carnival is the most famous event in Venice. Travel lovers come to Venice these days from all over the world. Be prepared for the fact that you will meet crowds of tourists in the city these days. A traditional competition for the best carnival costume will be held during the carnival. The winners will be chosen jointly by the audience and the jury. The contest will be held in three stages: the preliminary selection of participants, the second stage February 20 - 22, and the grand final of the contest is scheduled for February 23. Competition for children is scheduled for February 24. Walking through the streets and squares of Venice and just watching what's happening is not the best way to spend time during the carnival. It will be much more exciting to put on a carnival costume, mask and become one of the participants of the carnival. You will get unforgettable emotions, memories and photos.

St Mark’s Square

Piazza San Marco (St Mark's Square) is the heart of Venice. As the largest square in the city St Mark's Square has always been the location of important government buildings and other facilities central to the goings on in Venice. For first time visitors it's the natural magnet to head for on first arriving. However, the only way to get to St Mark's Square is by water transport or at least an hour's walk from the railway station, car parks, bus stations and cruise terminals of Venice.

The Arsenale

The Venetian Arsenal is a complex of former shipyards and armories clustered together in the city of Venice in northern Italy. Owned by the state, the Arsenal was responsible for the bulk of the Venetian republic's naval power. On the last few decades, however, its area comes to a new life and cultural spaces have been created within.

Venice

With shimmering water in canals where streets would normally be, Venice truly is a city unlike any other. The dreamlike feel of this spectacular city can simply never be captured of photo or film or even explained, it has to be experienced. The fabulous palaces and churches reflect centuries of history in what was a wealthy trading center between Europe and the Orient. Now it seems strolling through the narrow alleyways with perhaps no idea of where you are heading is a quintessential part of exploring Venice.

Costumes

If you are planning to visit Venice during this big event, there are two things you must have: masks and costumes. There are plenty of tailors that can make a wide range of handmade carnival costumes. The costumes vary from luxury materials to really affordable materials. It does not matter what the costume will look like, it is your enthusiasm that will ensure you will have a great time.
