Venice is definitely one of those cities that appears on many a Bucket List. The City of Bridges (just one of its many names), renowned for romance and gondolas, has been described as “undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by a man.”

As one of the oldest and more significant tourist destinations, Venice offers many famous sights and wonderful activities: St Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge, a cruise along the Grand Canal, St Mark’s Basilica to name but a few.

Alternatively, avoid the throngs of tourists at the big attractions by simply drifting through the city on foot, walking over bridges, along narrow passageways and rustic alleys before stopping for some amazing food and drink.

However, for a truly amazing Venetian experience, coordinate your visit with the Venice Carnival 2012 , a festival that takes place for two weeks over Easter, ending on Shrove Tuesday.

This annual event is not only the biggest and most famous carnivals in Italy, but it is also one of the oldest. Legend has it that the carnival – effectively a gathering of masked people – began some time between the 14th and 15th centuries.

What used to be restricted to cloaks and long-nosed masks has now become a rainbow of colour, with all manner of beautiful costumes and brightly coloured, ornate Venetian masks, decorated with lace, feathers and sequins on display.

The two week fashion show culminates in the prestigious best mask competition -  la maschera piu bella fortnight, tourists can expect a huge opening party which takes place in St Mark’s Square amid much merriment, music and dancing and many different celebrations every day from then on. This includes the Children’s Carnival, historical enactments, parades, live music from around the world, 19th century-style entertainment and opera.

However, nothing beats the Il Ballo del Doge , the masked ball. Set in the Palazzo Pisani Moretta on the Grand Canal, this events has been one of the top ten things to do in a lifetime. Guests arrive by boat and are greeted by dancers, acrobats, jesters and musicians who proceed to entertain and delight all.

After a delicious dinner, the dancing begins and does not end until the early hours. It has been said that this ball is like a fairy tale, one that no one ever wishes to forget.
