Entertainment and amusement in Venice

Venice means of course culture, art, and marvellous picturesque recesses, but for a tourist it is above all fun and unforgettable experiences. It houses a myriad of plays, exhibitions, concerts and exciting events that make the city interesting and curious.

Popular among celebrities and stars of the show-business, it hosts the Venice Biennale, the International Art Exhibition, the Venice International Film Festival, the Venice Marathon and the wonderful feast of San Marco.

Its major event is the Carnival of Venice, perhaps one of the most popular around the world, during which the city is tinged with colour and music, laughter and merry dances that enliven every small square in town.

Hotels and accommodation structures in Venice

Fun has its home in the many nightclubs dotting the streets and small squares, on which music and light-heartedness hovers. The same that can be found in many restaurants, pizzerias and pubs.

The Venetian movida will continue to surprise you in clubs, which will accompany their guests late into the night, to the rhythm of the best music. Hotel facilities, are likewise numerous and efficient in service and hospitality. Many hotels overlook the lagoon, and others the wonderful, small and sinuous canals, giving a sense of tranquillity and favouring romantic atmospheres.

Historic buildings, most of the times luxurious and elegant, but there are also hotels for a less demanding tourist, cheaper but not less welcoming. An ideal solution for the younger ones, are the bed and breakfast and half-board pensions, which will allow an informal holiday in total independence.

We recommend to book well in advance because of the impressive number of tourists, although very interesting are the last minute deals that Venice hotels have been offering since a few years. Just keep your eyes open and seize the moment, Venice will do the rest.
