More than three weeks later, I am FINALLY posting about my visit to Venice during Carnivale. If you've never visited the city, go. I thought it was absolutely beautiful, with charming streets and the loveliest canals running through it (the perfect weather didn't hurt either).
However, if you're actually trying to see the city, Carnevale might not be the best time to go. The entire city, from the train station to the Piazza San Marco, was completely packed. Don't get me wrong, I loved getting to see Carnevale for the first time since I lived in Italy as a kid. It was so much fun seeing the bright colors and elaborate costumes every one had. I even bought a mask of my own to get into the spirit :). However, if I ever go back to Venice (which hopefully I will!), I think I'll probably go at a different time of year haha. Regardless of the crowded streets though, I had an amazing time checking out the city and being surrounded by the festive spirit of Carnevale.
