Venice Carnival 2024

The “Carnevale di Venezia 2024” was celebrated from January 27 to February 13, 2024. Marco Polo returns to the lagoon city as the central figure of #CarnevaleVenezia2024. Under the striking motto “Ad Oriente… the extraordinary journey of Marco Polo,” the Venice Carnival 2024 pays tribute to one of its most important explorers, whose experiences symbolize the spirit of the city: The curiosity, thirst for knowledge, and creativity of Venetian merchants are the focus of a lifestyle that has shaped the entire history of the Republic of Venice – a combination of trade, business, diplomacy, and scientific and geographical expertise. Venice can be easily reached overnight from Vienna, Innsbruck, and Munich with the ÖBB Nightjet. Numerous daytime connections with the ÖBB Railjet also offer an environmentally friendly travel option.
