Spectacles in Venice: Make Venice vacations An Enjoyable Experience
by Apurva
A Venice vacation is nothing
if not steeped in tradition. In fact, ever since the city has become a
popular tourist attraction where visitors probably outnumber natives by
a factor of ten, the traditions have become more pronounced, more colorful,
and more enjoyable and yes, more orthodox. Let us see a few of the major
tourist attractions in Venice that you can enjoy during your Venice vacations.
Marriage
to the Sea
On Ascension Day every year,
the city recreates its marriage to the sea to emphasize the fact that the
city is indeed totally dependent on the sea. The Doge is taken to S. NicolÚ
del Lido in his traditional boat. There is a great colorful parade of ships,
boats and gondolas of all sizes escorting him, and with great pomp and
gaiety he throws a wedding ring in to the middle of the lagoon. The show
carries on for quite some time and is followed by enthusiastic races among
gondola drivers. This is a must see in your itinerary during the Venice
vacation.
Carnival
The carnival in Venice, Italy
has a flavor unparalleled anywhere else. For ten days. Venice is a hotbed
of activities and locals and tourists alike take part in the dancing and
entertainment with great gusto. St Marks' Square is the hub of main activities
but fortunately, the carnival is celebrated all over town in a large number
of dancing halls and the crowds are somewhat distributed. The carnival
is one of the most important tourist attractions in Venice and you should
plan your Venice vacations accordingly. The masks are a must have for the
carnival and the very notion of being masked gives a certain abandon to
the proceedings. Carnival or not, every tourist is bound to carry a mask
or two back home.
The Historic Regatta
If the city has a hundred
and fifty waterways and canals, can a boat race be far behind? Every year,
the regatta of hundreds of boats speeding past thousands of tourists enjoying
their Venice vacations and locals, all loudly cheering whichever boat takes
their fancy, is a major spectacle. There isn't just one regatta alone.
Although part of one event, there are races for champions (the gondolini),
for women (the mascarete) and for the young (the pupparini). Huge crowds,
loud cheering and colorful stands are the highlight to a fun and frolic
filled day!
The Festival of the Redeemer
If you look at Venice history,
In 1576, a plague hit Venice. Legend has it that it was brought into the
city by rats carried on a ship from the Orient. Thousands died till finally,
the plague was contained in 1630! The celebrations continue to this day
and are held on the third Sunday of July. All monuments are lighted up
and a beautiful fireworks display lights up the entire lagoon far into
the night.
No matter which season you
select for your Venice vacations, there is bound to be something spectacular
to attract. After all, Venice is not a historical odyssey for nothing!
