Italy’s Pre-Lenten Carnival in Venice evokes costume balls and ornate masks and…pub crawls? Apparently, that’s the missing link during these festivities, so a pub crawl will kick off Carnival season on 26 February at the foot of the Academia bridge, just in front of the Academia museum at 7p.m. You’ll visit five local bars know as Bacari in the Venetian dialect. In each bar you will be offered a glass of local wine and, at the final bar, a shot of grappa. If it’s your birthday the tour is free, so please bring some ID. Costume dress, of course.
