Venice Carnival 2012Venice Carnival is the biggest event of the year in Venice, and if you are planning to stay in the city at this time, you should really plan ahead and book your hotel well in advance. There are usually a number of special organised events but most entertainment is to be had simply strolling around the St. Mark's area and admiring extravagant costumes. The 2012 Venice Carnival takes place between the 11th February and 21st February. If you have children, take them to Campo San Polo, or to the Giardini park for fun and educational children's entertainment. In other squares (campi) of Venice you'll find live music, folk dancing and various other events, as well as stalls selling mulled wine and fritelle, a traditional doughnut-like snack.
