The annual “Venice Carnival,” also known as the Carnival of Venice, is a vibrant and mysterious time in Italy’s water city. What faces and stories lie behind the colorful and elaborate masks? Filled with the unknown and the unpredictable, the Venice Carnival stirs the imagination...

World-famous, the Venice Carnival is one of the world’s top three carnivals, and it comes with a beautiful origin story. The Latin word "Carnival" means "farewell to meat," referring to the ten days before the Christian Lent period leading up to Easter. Since Lent is a time of austerity, believers designated the ten days prior as Carnival—a time for unrestrained celebration. In 2017, the Venice Carnival will take place from February 11 to 28. Are you ready to join the festivities?

During the Venice Carnival, it feels like a massive photo shoot—just pick up your camera, press the shutter, and capture stunning images. Through the lens, elaborate medieval costumes transport you into a vortex of time, while people around you seem to have stepped right out of ancient books. Every costume and movement is unforgettable.

Usually bustling with tourists, Venice becomes even more lively during the carnival. Streets, sidewalks, and canals are filled with people celebrating wildly in masks. The renowned St. Mark's Square often hosts splendid medieval-themed performances, while nearby shops offer a variety of masks and costumes for visitors to dress up and join this grand performance. At night, there are masked banquets, masquerade balls, and spectacular shows, making the evening even more vibrant than the day.

Participating in the Venice Carnival is easy—you don’t need to scour the internet for information. Master Travel has already planned a series of itineraries to let travelers experience this incredible carnival, and they even include a free Venice mask to help you become the star of the event！
