An unforgettable trip to Venice

In February 2014 I went to Venice on holiday. I was there for the carnival. It was an experience I will never forget! Here is what I found out about this spectacular event:


The Venice Carnival began in 1162 when the people of Venice started to dance in St Mark’s Square. It became very famous all over Europe because of the colourful costumes that people wore. The carnival gave the people of Venice a chance to forget their worries, relax and celebrate. However, while the King of Austria was ruling Venice, the carnival stopped and it was against the law to wear masks in the street. The carnival finally returned to Venice in 1979. It is celebrated at the same time every year, over 10 days in late winter.


The costumes at the carnival are very beautiful and unusual. People wear dresses, long black coats, strange hats with three corners and masks. The masks are what make the carnival so original. Many have got very detailed artwork and complicated designs. Some are quite terrifying! There are competitions for the best costume. If you go to the carnival, you will see lots of people walking the streets and squares wanting be photographed and maybe win competitions! If you want to join in with the atmosphere, you will need to buy a mask! There are many shops around the city where you can do this.


During the carnival there are lots of parties and activities going on. The action starts with a zombie walk. Hundreds of zombies walk through the city! This is a recent American addition to the carnival and great fun for fans of TV programmes like ‘The Walking Dead’. But the place to be during the carnival is St Mark’s Square. This is where everyone goes and this is where you will see all the fantastic costumes. There is food, music and dance. It can get very busy, so if that’s a little too much you can always go into one of the side streets and still see all the fun. There is also the Arsenal, an enormous building where various theatre performances, concerts and other events take place during this extraordinary and unforgettable festival.

1. The writer loved the Carnival in Venice.

2. With the the king of Austria people could wear masks.

3. There are many shops in the city where you can take photos.

4. The main actors of “The Walking Dead” always go to Venice at carnival.

5. If the town is busy, you can go to the side streets.

6. At the Arsenal, they celebrate football matches.

7. At the carnival, you can forget about your problems.
