| Rome and Venice -- Attend festivals or avoid them? | |||||||||||||||
newt98 Laurie Newton Post Count: 3 Msg: #1 195 days ago, April 1st 2008 | We are planning a trip to Italy in late April, including Rome and Venice. I noticed that Rome celebrates their birthday on April 21, and Venice has a big celebration on April 25. Has anyone been in those cities during that time? Would you recommend participating in the festivals, or visiting another time when it's "less" crowded? | Fra82 Francesca Post Count: 1 Msg: #2 173 days ago, April 23rd 2008 | April 25 is a National Day in Italy. On this day Italy celebrates its liberation by fascists and many events are held in many Italian city. As is a National Day many shops will be closed. Said that, I suppose there always are a lot of tourists in Rome and in Venice, with or whitout Festivals | Number of Users: 2 | Number of Posts: 2 | ||||||||||
