 Piazza San Marco in nighttime
splendor. by tpal
Nighttime is when the magic comes alive. Gone is the hustle and bustle, replaced with romance. The square becomes aglow with lights from under the colonnades and from every column and pilaster. Music can be heard from every corner. The night mutes the visual details to a nearly sepia tone while the textures of the surrounding buildings and the patterns of the pavers reveal themselves.
Strolling through the piazza I suddenly become aware of my footfalls. I feel as though Carol and I are alone in our experience. There are still many others around us but the pace is slower, their voices are lower and they all feel the same as me. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Follow Signs. All roads lead here.

I went to San Marco in the evening and really enjoyed the lights on the facades. There weren't too many people so it was quite bearable. Best time to go sightseeing.
Then went back the next day for about 10 minutes; I just couldn't stand the crowds and the pigeons! The buildings are prettier at nighttime, go find out yourself! Theme: OtherDirections: Follow Signs. All roads lead here.

The shops and attractions are closed by 7pm.. most close earlier. So when the sun sets.. it's time to just relax and enjoy the venetian ambience. Of course i couldn't afford a cup of anything at any of the cafes at the piazza.. so i juz sat on of those platforms used during the aquas alte (high water).
It was nice and relaxing.. till it got too chilly. Leave a Comment Theme: People WatchingDirections: Follow Signs. All roads lead here.

 Mystical San Marco at
Night by deecat
One night as Allan and I were walking after dinner, we went to the square where the "Dueling Orchestras" were playing. There were a few couples, some street artists, and the musicians...so we slow danced for just a few minutes. It was quite lovely. Being the romantic that I am, it is a fond memory of Venice.
We took pictures, but it did not work well. I'll try the picture we have of the orchestra playing/ the street artist displaying his wares.
There is no dress code. Just be with someone you love. Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicDirections: Follow Signs. All roads lead here.

 Some light, touristy but fun
entertainment by davequ
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. Leave a Comment Theme: ConcertDirections: Follow Signs. All roads lead here.

 musician in the Piazza by nicolettartLeave a Comment Theme: Live MusicDirections: Follow Signs. All roads lead here.

At night in San Marco Square many of the cafes have live music. They play many things, such as musicals, or classic, or popular older tunes. It's really nice to stand and listen to, just watch out if you decide to sit down and have coffee, a cup can be E8, which amount to $9 roughly. Best thing to do is just stand behind the seating and take in the atmoshere and save yourself the expensive coffe. If you don't mind the price, the coffee is good!
None! Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicDirections: Look for spray painted signs on the walls of buildings to point you in the right direction. (If two arrows point in opposite directions, it just means to go around the building).

The cafe's around the St Marks Square are alive at night with people drinking and earting and listening to the small orchestraa, as well as a large number aof wandering people standing behind the cafe area just enjoying the music and ambience for free! The choice is yours!
If money is not the issue then definitely park yourself down and order one of the most expensive coffees/whiskies/wines etc etc that you will ever buy BUT enjoy the surroundings its great especially if you are with your loved one!!
Dress up smart you'll be glad you did Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicDirections: Follow Signs. All roads lead here.

 Piazza San Marco by sim1
It is wonderful to see Venice by night. A lot of beautiful buildings have lots of lights, like the Piazza San Marco you can see in this picture. I've never seen a city more beautiful at night than Venice. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Follow Signs. All roads lead here.
