Campo Santa Margherita
Campo Santa Margherita is one of Venice’s liveliest and most beloved squares, a spacious open area at the heart of Dorsoduro where daily life unfolds from morning to late evening. Surrounded by cafés, student hangouts, historic façades, and small shops, the campo has long been a social hub for locals, families, and university students. Its generous size makes it feel more like a neighbourhood plaza than a tourist landmark, with children playing, residents chatting, and terraces filling as the day progresses. Despite its relaxed atmosphere, the square retains strong historical character, shaped by centuries of community life. Campo Santa Margherita offers an authentic glimpse into contemporary Venice, blending energy, tradition, and a welcoming sense of place.
Venice ItalyCampo Santa Margherita is a vibrant elongated square in Venice's Dorsoduro sestiere, nestled between the lively university areas of Ca' Foscari and the historic center, away from main tourist paths yet central to local life. This bustling gathering spot for students and residents features daily markets, bacari bars, and trattorias spilling onto its stone pavement, bounded by 14th- and 15th-century houses and widened in the 19th century by filling adjacent canals. Nearby stand the Gothic Chiesa di Santa Margherita (now a university hall), Baroque Scuola Grande dei Carmini and its adjacent church, Campo San Barnaba with its market and gondola station, Gallerie dell'Accademia museum just 470 meters southeast, Zattere waterfront promenade, and quick access via vaporetto to Ca' Rezzonico or Ponte dell'Accademia.
