Question

Has anyone been to the Carnival of Venice? What is it like?

Answer 1

It seems to last about 6 months. Venice always seems overcrowded to me.

Answer 2

You must see it at least once in your life.

It is a bit crowded during the weekends but what you will experience will award you big time. No matter what you will read and how many photos you will see, nothing can describe the magic of Venice during the carnival. The people dressed with expensive old-time costumes and masks, the happenings, the mist at night ......

The only "minus" is that during the carnival everything is very expensive, hotels, food, airlines ....

See my photos of Carnival 2007:
