Venice unlike  Rome does not have a thriving and robust nightlife. In comparison Venice is rather  sedate, but in a way that is part of her charm and there are things to do to while away the evening. For example, taking a stroll around the peaceful and quiet city free of the day trippers and perhaps stopping off for a late night drink at a traditional bacari. There are a couple of cinemas scattered throughout the city in case you are in the mood to take in a film. There is the Teatro Goldoni (plays in Italian) and dance performances at the Teatro Fondamenta Nuove. With the reopening of Teatro La Fenice visitors and locals alike can once again enjoy a night at the opera in one the loveliest settings in the world. Before seeing an opera or a concert you can have a drink at the opulent setting of the Hotel Danieli. Below is a photo me having a drink at the Hotel Danieli. The photo did not come out well, but I think it is okay.  Concerts are also held at the Teatro Malibran, recently reopened after undergoing an extensive renovation. On my last trip, I attended a concert at the Scula di San Giovanni Evangelista and had a delightful time. Before the concert I had dinner at a charming restaurant near the Friar and after the concert I had coffee and dessert at Caffe Florian - located on the Piazza San Marco and one of my favorite coffee houses in the world. Concerts are also held in many of the churches including the l Frair, Santo Stefano & La Pieta. So as you can see there is plenty of things to do in Venice in the evenings. For a complete listing of things to do consult the publications I mentioned on the main page of GoingEuro Venice.
