Nightlife in Venice is very interesting. There are many traditional opera houses and concert halls. A visitor can have as much fun by night as time and resources can allow. Generally, Venice is not different from all other Italian cities when it comes to nightlife. Venice starts off on a quiet note during early evening hours but gets lively as the night progresses.
As the sun melts in the beautiful waterways in the evening, you will find many local people as well as foreigners sitting around pizzas sipping wine and coffee in a relaxed mood. The city has maintained a very unique tradition of classical music. You will always find an important concert taking place somewhere within the city every other night.
Churches also prepare concerts that feature both local and international classical musicians. Church box offices are the best ticket-dispensing points for those who want to avoid last-minute disappointment. In recent years, many night clubs have been opened as if in a defiance answer to the widely popularized claim that Venice’s nightlife is boring. There are many beautiful cafes and sophisticated bars where many young people gather so as to have fun especially during weekends.
Cannaregio is one of the areas that attract really lively crowds. Many locals love mingling with foreigners in this place. If you hang around the foot of Rialto Bridge at night, you won’t fail to notice Campo San Bartolomeo, a nightclub that is just thrilling.
Concerns about noise pollution are the only hindrance to wild nightclubs especially those located near residential areas. Mestre is a place that is not restrained by these noise pollution restrictions. This is where many young people head during weekends. The best night-out experience is perhaps at Jesolo, a nightclub near Padua. All night spots are a short distance within each other. This is what makes all of them interesting. It is possible to move from one club to the other looking for wild adventure.
A common feature of Venice every Friday and Saturday is a mass of lively and vibrant young people moving from one bar to the other in drunken stupor. This is what best describes nightlife in Venice and indeed other major cities all over Italy. Yet Venice is not your typical party city. It is too well-mannered to loosen its grip on its conservative values that are often selfishly guarded by majority of the local population.
