What better way to experience Venice than by joining a Carnival Pub Crawl? While Venice is renowned for its stunning palaces, churches, and world-famous architectural landmarks, the city’s nightlife can sometimes be quiet. That’s why our Venetian Style Carnival Pub Crawl is the perfect alternative, offering an exciting and lively way to experience Venice after dark. This event is not only one of the best ways to meet fellow travelers, but also an opportunity to enjoy the spirit of the Venice Carnival in full costume and mask!
Your Carnival Pub Crawl begins at 5:00 PM near the Ca’ Rezzonico Museum, conveniently located by the vaporetto stop. Here, you’ll meet your friendly guide, who will be holding a sign saying “I’m doing it Venetian Style.” After introductions, you’ll embark on a fun-filled evening through the labyrinth of Venice’s narrow alleyways, bridges, and charming campi (squares).
This isn’t just any pub crawl—it’s a Venetian-style adventure, so don’t forget to dress up in your Carnival costume and mask to fully immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere.
During your Carnival Pub Crawl, you’ll visit three local bars, known as bacari in the Venetian dialect. These are traditional wine bars loved by locals, offering an authentic taste of Venice’s food and drink culture. In each bacaro, you’ll be treated to an ombra, which is a small glass of local wine—an essential part of Venetian social life.
Along the way, your guide will share stories about Venice’s unique drinking traditions and how these historic establishments fit into the city’s everyday life. It’s a great opportunity to mingle with locals and learn about the customs that make Venice so unique.
The final stop of your Carnival Pub Crawl takes you to a bar where you’ll be able to try Venice’s most popular cocktail: the Spritz. Made with prosecco, Aperol or Campari, and a splash of soda, the Venetian Spritz is a refreshing drink that perfectly complements the festive atmosphere of the evening.
This fun, social evening is a great way to meet new people, enjoy local drinks, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of Venice’s Carnival. The only requirement? You must be over 18, so don’t forget to bring your ID.
