Campo Santa Margherita is one of Venice’s liveliest and most authentic squares, located
in the Dorsoduro district. It serves as a popular meeting place for locals, students, and
travelers seeking a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Surrounded by colorful buildings,
charming cafés, and vibrant nightlife, it’s the perfect spot to experience Venice beyond the
usual tourist paths. By day, the square hosts small markets and coffee shops; by night, it
transforms into a buzzing social hub filled with music, laughter, and the aroma of Venetian
cuisine. Campo Santa Margherita offers a genuine glimpse into daily Venetian life.
