Venice carnival

From now until 24 February the fanciest of masked balls takes place in Italy’s famous floating town. With processions aplenty and dances galore you’ll need some glam evening wear and a disguise to survive. Know your waltz from your tango and your foxtrot from your quickstep and get your anonymous flirting skills up to scratch, you may even find a lover... or three. It’s time for decadence and debauchery so drink deep and be as free as can be – with a mask on no one will know it’s you.
