Venice is the scene of some of the most iconic cultural events in the world. Experience the elegance and mystery of the Venice Carnival, with its masks and period costumes. If you are an art lover, don't miss the prestigious Venice Biennale, and for film buffs, the International Film Festival on the Lido is a must every September.

Venice also has a modern and alternative side. Explore the artistic atmosphere of Dorsoduro, with its galleries, bars and sunset views. Enjoy a canal-front café in Cannaregio, or jump into the laid-back atmosphere of Giudecca, a neighborhood with local charm and a different perspective on the city.
