Party Earth Review: Located near both the University of Venice and Ca’ Foscari University, Campo Santa Margherita has earned a reputation as the primary nightlife area in Venice, and particularly caters to the area’s high-spirited student population. The square’s boisterous activity, helped along by a dozen small bars open every night until 2am, makes this campo the destination for young people. By day, however, the square also teems with local residents running errands and buying fresh fruit, bread, herbs, and fish from the small vendors, as well as throngs of visitors who take a break on the benches under the canopy of trees to watch the bustling parade of daily life. In the evening, the square sees an equally busy passage of commuters who often stop at one of the bars for a quick snack and a Venetian spritz before continuing home. Later at night, the bars and outdoor cafés start buzzing with a diverse crowd of twenty-somethings looking for late-night drinks and animated conversation among friends. Anyone looking for an eclectic crowd and a high-energy vibe will certainly find it in Campo Santa Margherita – morning, noon, or night.

Campo Santa Margherita Review

Tip from Jonah:

“This high-spirited square offers a variety of vibes and social scenes – from laid-back impromptu music jams to the buzz of overflowing bars. It’s best to start at one corner and just make the complete rounds from venue to venue.”
