The Venice Carnival has always been one of the Mediterranean’s three major themed carnival events, alongside the “Venice Carnival,” the “Nice Carnival,” and the olfactory delight of the “Menton Lemon Festival.” Treat yourself to the romantic and whimsical lifestyle of the locals.

A seasoned tour leader and travel expert, Gong Tou Jian, who has led multiple groups to Venice and attended the carnival twice, says that every time he visits Venice, his excitement remains undimmed. “After all, it’s such a one-of-a-kind city in the world.” When often asked about the best travel season in Europe, he believes that winter in Italy offers a completely different color palette and ambiance compared to summer—filled with art and culinary warmth that warms you to the core. Especially during the carnival, the nights of Venice, set against music, lights, and artistic installations, always draw countless couples to snuggle up and share this magical, dreamlike time. Walking the streets during the carnival, brushing shoulders with elaborately costumed and masked revelers, feels like strolling through a living dream. For photography enthusiasts, it’s an especially golden moment where classic shots are just a click away. For him, visiting Venice in the off-season is a trip—but experiencing it during the carnival is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

To bring domestic travelers closer to the Venice Carnival experience, Lion Travel has launched an upgraded version of the “Venice Carnival Honeymoon Celebration” itinerary, designed by French travel product designer Jean-Philippe Combe. The itinerary takes you through colorful crystal glass factories, offers a gondola ride to experience the charm of the water city, lets you sit at an open-air café in St. Mark’s Square sipping authentic Italian coffee, and includes visits to architectural masterpieces such as St. Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace, and the Bridge of Sighs.

This Mediterranean journey planned by Lion Travel features the most authentic itinerary designed by the Frenchman Jean-Philippe Combe (right), with tour leader Gong Tou Jian (left) also guiding domestic travelers along the way.

The Lion Travel “Top Three Mediterranean Carnivals” series also handpicks a range of renowned travel experts with extensive group-leading experience to serve as guides. These include travel enthusiast Gong Tou Jian, globetrotting expert Chen Meizhu, popular travel writer Jerry, and veteran top-tier tour leader Lin Zhengxiong.
