The Venice Carnival 2026 will be a truly special edition. From January 31st to February 17th, the city celebrates the theme “Olympus – At the Origins of the Game”, turning Venice into a stage of myth, sport, art and playful competition.
A Carnival inspired by the spirit of play
The Olympus theme celebrates a Venice that has always lived the Carnival as a moment of participation and freedom, reviving historic traditions like the human pyramids of the Nicolotti and Castellani.
Highlights a couple should not miss
The grand water show at the Arsenale, the “12 Marie” parade, the official ball at Ca’ Vendramin Calergi, and Carnivals of the world in St. Mark’s Square.
Experiencing the Carnival from Cannaregio
Staying at Hotel Alle Guglie places you in one of the most authentic and strategic areas of Venice, lively and young, yet calm and romantic in its side streets.
A gondola at sunset between myth and romance
Quiet canals, soft reflections, warm evening lights: a gondola ride at sunset is one of those moments every couple remembers long after the trip is over.
Why Hotel Alle Guglie is perfect for Venice Carnival as a couple
Its location is one of its greatest advantages: easy to reach, perfectly connected and ideal for exploring on foot.
