During the Venice Carnival period, there are all kinds of parties everywhere in the city. You could choose to celebrate in the Piazza, on the streets, in a hotel. However, what we recommend for your Carnival Celebration is to join a Private party in the historic palaces of Venice, which will give you the opportunity to be in an exclusive location to celebrate one of the most special festivals in the world.
A Venetian masquerade ball is really a unique occasion to celebrate the Venice Carnival, Italy. You will see all kinds of artistic performances : jugglers, fire eaters, dancers, and live music among the luxuries of a Venetian residence not usually open to the public. You will jump back in time to experience the luxurious and mysterious side of life of many years ago in the City of Water. Carnival balls organized in Venetian palaces normally have an entrance ticket, which includes various services: from gala dinner to the rental of costumes, to the private transfer.
