Attend Il Ballo Del Doge Masked Ball at Venice Carnival Helpful Information

For many there is only one Carnival and it happens every year in February in Venice. We offer an exclusive opportunity for you to attend the best balls at the Carnival, a truly once in a lifetime experience.

With a history stretching back 900 years and a colourful history encapsulated by the antics of Casanova, attending a ball at this annual event ranks as one of the most spectacular cultural events available. The annual Carnival is an extraordinary occasion that lasts 2 weeks. We have developed 4 itineraries that allow you to participate in the excitement and thrill of carnival according to your budget. They are all based around a main Ball with optional A la Carte extras to enhance your Carnival experience.

Il Ballo Del Doge Ball - The most spectacular Ball and widely regarded as one of the pre-eminent events in Italy. This years is set to be particularly spectacular as it is the 20th anniversary.

Mascheranda Ball - Using the same Palazzo this is equally spectacular but not as exclusive.

The Best of Il Ballo del Doge - The highlights of the previous 19 years of Il Ballo del Doge. Keenly priced this allows you to experience the excitement of Carnival at a lower price.

Tiepolo Ball - The most traditional Ball of the Carnival and the one you are most involved in the dancing.
