Nightlife of Venice
Venice , a beautiful mesmerizing city, enchanting one moment and mysterious the next. As dusk sets in the city is magically transformed into shimmering reflections of its many palazzo and houses, in the canals.
Quietly sliding down its canals in a Gondola is a beautiful experience at night. This can be pretty expensive, and the minimum authorized rate starts at L120, 000 for a 45-minute ride. This increases as the day progresses, being most expensive after sunset, when the city looks like dissolving paint in its waters.
A tourist can also try the city's traghetti, which are ferry gondolas, crossing the Grand Canal for about L 700.Venice is a town with silence all around and doesnot have much to offer for nightlife. But those who love open places with pin drop silence and love to enjoy chatting with clouds, Venice is made for them. A few pizza huts and café are the hanging places in Venice on the highways. Though a bit expensive, but you get the value for your money here.
Many of the hotels and tourist spots have listings of current festivals and concerts.There are innumerable galleries to see and just experience the sights and sounds of this timeless city. Venidig has a long and rich tradition of classical music, and there's always a concert going on somewhere. Several churches regularly host classical-music concerts by local and international artists. Vivaldi concerts occur almost nightly, to know more its good to talk to many of the costumed people scattered across town.
During the 10 days before Ash Wednesday, Venice 's famous Carnevale brings masked figures, camera happy tourists and outdoor concerts to the city, filling the streets with abundance of color and cheer. This is a very unique experience for a person visiting Venice .
The famous Biennale di Venezia, drowns the city with provocative contemporary international art every odd numbered year.

Della Miericordia in Cannaregio is also a great place to hangout at. Many young student travelers and Venice students hangout at Bar Salus. The Paradiso Perduto in the Fond area is a well-known bar. It also houses a restaurant and a Jazz club. So music lovers, especially of Jazz can head to this bar, getting many things to do at one place.
