Venice Nightlife
Venice, Italy is one of the most romantic cities in the world. The nightlife in Venice has a special old-world charm that is the most fun to share with your romantic partner.
Strolling
One of the most enjoyable things to do in Venice at night is simply to stroll around the town. Enjoy the people watching as you take in the fresh night air. All of the buildings around the main squares are illuminated, which makes a wonderful sight to see them at night. This is especially pleasant on a balmy summer evening.
f you need a rest, stop in at one of the many bars and cafes that are around the public squares for a coffee or a nice drink before continuing on your way.
Gondola Ride
Taking a Gondola (boat) ride down the Venice canals is very enjoyable in the evenings. They are lit up with beautiful, tiny lights. If you are lucky, you will have a Gondolier (boat driver) that not only expertly steers the boat, but also serenades you and your loved one at the same time with a beautiful Italian song. If he sings well, tip him well and that makes everyone very happy.
Bars
Venice is better known for its small bars and clubs than for big dance clubs. The idea of a good night out is to relax with friends, have something great to eat, and share drinks, mixed with good conversation.
Bacaro Jazz Bar
Bacaro Jazz is well-known restaurant and cocktail bar situated in San Marco square near the Rialto Bridge. It has good food and a very relaxed atmosphere.

Besides the good food and great cocktails, Bacaro Jazz is known for its live music, performed by expert jazz musicians.

Jazz Club: 900

Teatro La Fenice
A must-see is going out to the theater in Venice to enjoy an opera performance or a concert. This theater first opened in the late 1800’s and has been rebuilt many times because of being destroyed by fire. The latest cause of a fire was arson by workers at the theater during 1996. They were caught and thrown into prison. Because of this history, firemen are now on duty at the theater for every performance. The newest renovations are spectacular.
