Many towns and cities in Italy have famous annual celebrations for their patron saint’s day that are rooted in centuries of tradition. These celebrations usually involve some religious ceremonies through processions and masses as well as other kinds of commemorations but they have evolved throughout the ages to become larger parties and events that even non-believers and those of different faiths can enjoy as well. Filling historic centres with colour, excitement, sound, great food and wine, music, excellent parties, and all sorts of special events, these saint’s day celebrations make for a particularly special time to be in a place.

Venice is no exception to this and the romantic city is all the lovelier when it celebrates Saint Mark on the 25th of April each year. So, if you were considering booking a vacation rental in Venice and were wondering when you should go, then you might think about coming to celebrate with locals and tourists alike this spring!

In many places around the world, businesses and cultural institutions can shutter for days or even weeks over the Christmas holidays. If you are planning a Christmas getaway, therefore, it can be hard to know where might best be suited to a trip at this time of the year. If you were considering booking a vacation rental in Italy, for example, and were hoping to spend the Holiday Season exploring some of the great cities, museums, and attractions of Italy then you might be wondering if this is possible.

Thankfully, Italy is actually a great destination for a break over the Holidays as, while almost all museums and many independently owned businesses remain closed for Christmas Day and New Year's Day and close early on New Year’s Eve, in the days surrounding these two major national holidays days most institutions are open and ready for business.
