Club Piccolo and other Venice, Italy Nightlife Tips

Nightlife Spot: Club Piccolo

One of the most amazing things about Venice is the vast difference between day and night. During the day the streets are lined with tourists. After a certain hour, the city just kind of shuts down, and it is at night that I think you'll see the real Venice. Most tourists tend to stay at hotels off of the island itself, so by dusk the population has greatly reduced. I found this the most enjoyable time to walk around the city. There's a certain mystery to the dimly lit alleyways that I've never experienced anywhere else and that I found utterly charming.

But for those who love the nightlife, be advised it isn't as prevalent as it is in other European cities. There was one club near our hotel however. Club Piccolo offers a DJ and dancing until the early hours of the morning. It isn't until midnight that the place really gets going (show up at 10pm and you'll be disappointed). Also be warned that drinks are extremely expensive. But the dancing is a good time.
