    Good for an hour or so worth of diversion one night, get a chuckle from the dueling orchestras on Piazza San Marco at night.

    Battle of the bands Venetian style. A little corny but actually kind of funny, as the musicians were pretty good and would get very comical at times. Everybody usually ends up checking it out once, and I liked it.

    It is free if you stand and wander back & forth between the orchestras. You pay Venice prices for drinks if you sit down.

    Other than the small wine bars or the squares like Campo Santa Margherita that you bump into during a stroll,
    again, (see things to do tip)
    my favorite thing to do in Venice is wander late at night by myself, always taking a dark backstreet whenever there is a choice.

     Ah, Venice, a spot that I have always wanted to experience myself! You've got some unique tips here but I'm afraid the Hotel American is out of my $ league!
