Good to know before booking
- The costume is mandatory. It must be a period costume: evening gowns and tuxedos are not permitted. Some ateliers offer special rates to ticket holders.
- Adults only. Entrance is not allowed to guests under 18.
- Non-refundable tickets. Tickets are personal, non-transferable, non-refundable and cannot be changed: choose your evening carefully and consider travel insurance.
- Book early. Weekend evenings and Shrove Tuesday sell out first, and ateliers have limited fitting slots.
- Plan your way back. At the end of the night vaporetti and alleys are crowded: in costume, a booked water taxi is the comfortable choice.
- Tell us your hotel. So we can plan the water taxi times and the nearest landing.
