What is Venice Carnival 2027?
Venice Carnival is one of the oldest and most celebrated carnivals in the world, known for elaborate masks and historical costumes. The programme typically includes a water parade on the Grand Canal, the Festa delle Marie, mask contests in Piazza San Marco and masked balls in palazzi across the city. The theme for the 2027 edition is announced by the organisers ahead of the event.
How do you get to Venice by chauffeur?
Cars cannot enter the historic centre of Venice. Road transfers end at Piazzale Roma or the Tronchetto, where you can continue by water taxi or vaporetto, or on foot. A chauffeur can meet you at Marco Polo Airport and drive you to Piazzale Roma in around 15 to 20 minutes, or arrange a direct connection with a water taxi at the airport. Transfers from Treviso Airport take around 30 to 40 minutes.
Planning your day
- Book masked balls and dinners well in advance.
- Hire or buy your costume early if you plan to dress up.
