Venice takes on a new personality at night. As the pace slows down, the streets quiet, and the sounds of the canals take over, the city becomes the perfect setting for an evening for two.
A quiet walk through lesser-known neighborhoods
After dinner, just start walking. From Campo Santa Maria Formosa to the Jewish Ghetto, or along the Fondamenta degli Ormesini, each area offers different moods.
A glass of wine in a real local spot
Vino Vero, small and well-curated with canal-side tables. La Sete, relaxed vibe with great cocktails. Al Parlamento, livelier, with good wine and friendly service.
Indie cinema and candlelit bacari
Giorgione Movie d’Essai offers art-house programming in original language. Or return to a bacaro you’ve visited earlier in the day — at night they empty out and become quiet, glowing corners of the city.
