Nightlife In Venice

Normal conventional nightclubs and discos are virtually non-existent in Venice. There are a few places such as Piccolo Mondo which offers dancing untill 4 a.m and student-oriented osterias Agli Ormesini and Paradiso Perduto are open till 2 a.m

Venice however is different. Why not take a moonlit stroll through the city’s meandering streets. Although the city can appear dark it is very safe with relativly a low crime rate. Walking the streets at night is a particular treat during Carnival when the entire city is in costume. Nigh time also offers the advantage of being much less crowded and very few annoying tourists that appear all over the place during the daytime.

In Italy, much social life centres on the squares. Check out Santa Margherita, in student-central Dorsoduro. This is a buzzing spot with lots of bars and activity. Many restaurants also open quite late in Venice so you can always dine late and enjoy some locally produced wine.

Venice however is simply not the place to visit if you want to dance from dusk till dawn. It is a city that offers a unique experience and is a getaway from other party cities.
