Campo Santa Margherita

Venice's liveliest square in Dorsoduro, best at sunset with a Spritz

Admission Free

The large, lively square in Dorsoduro that functions as Venice's neighbourhood living room — lined with market stalls in the morning, cafes and student bars through the day and evening. Less touristic than San Marco and more animated than most of the city after dark. The surrounding streets contain some of the best independent restaurants in Venice.

Come in the evening for pizza, a Spritz, and the closest thing Venice has to a local outdoor social life. The square itself has no particular monuments — it's about the atmosphere.
