These Carnival Scenes Will Take You Away to Venice

Carnival is 10 days in in Venice, Italy, where revelers are masquerading for the annual celebration.

The already picturesque city makes for a perfect backdrop of the colorful Carnevale di Venezia spectacle that dates back to 1162. Indulge your wanderlust with a look at the Venetian scenes.
