Travel: Recipe for the Real Venice Carnival 2014

STEP 1

Find your passport; book a flight to Venice and a few nights at The BAUERs Hotel.

STEP 2

Pack your most extravagant clothes or, even more fun, get ready to shop for some traditional costumes at the store Ca’Macana (Dorsoduro 3172).  Dress up and get lost in the streets of Venice, immersing yourself in the colors and dresses of an ancient era.

STEP 3

Enjoy the ‘Flight of the Angel’, which marks the beginning of Carnival, and the ‘Water Procession’, a parade of decorated boats and masked rowers. Get a front seat on the Gran Canal from The BAUERs’ De Pisis terrace, and don’t miss a moment of this spectacle.

STEP 4

Keep yourself free for Saturday, February 22nd at 8.30pm and attend the Annual BAUERlesque party at the BAUERs Hotel. This year the theme is based on Stephen King’s classic, “The Shining.” For one night only The BAUERs will transform itself into The Overlook Hotel.  Guests are invited to play an active role as protagonists and reenact some of the most iconic scenes from the movie.
