They appeal to a broad holiday audience, are usually free and very family-friendly. <strong>Venice events, by contrast, are large-scale culture, art and tradition affairs<\/strong> \u2014 the Biennale, Festa del Redentore, Carnival, the Film Festival. Higher ticket prices, often educational in character, sometimes requiring registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are planning a family holiday, the ideal combination is a <strong>Bibione hotel base + 1\u20132 Venice day trips<\/strong> \u2014 beach programme and high culture in one trip.
