   When we first visited, we were very excited to find a gay bar in Venice and spent a lot of period researching ‘gay bars Venice, Italy’.

   For such a accepted and trendy destination, we were surprised to uncover a lack of gay bars or gay clubs in Venice [no_toc]

   In evidence, we found that the nightlife scene here is very relaxed, easy going and involves having many Aperols (which we love). Venice is a super romantic city and we found that it was a great option for us visiting as a gay couple.

   Perhaps the world’s most beautiful town, Venice has for hundreds of years been a destination for travelers on their “grand tour.” It doesn’t get grander than this city of canals. Gondolas float past palazzos that seem to go up directly out of the water. Landmarks like the Basilica di San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale mix Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture in such a way that it seems like something altogether different.

   The city extends between the mouths of the Piave and Po Rivers, across small islands in the saltwater marshes of the  Venetian Lagoon, on the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.  A wealthy city throughout much of its history, it began as a refuge for those from Roman cities, fleeing invasions as the empire collapsed. First as a Byzantine territory, then as the Republic of Venice, it became a major maritime control, especially during the Middle Ages and Renaissance eras, trading in salt, silk, grain, spice, and art. Already by the adj thirteenth century, it had become the most prosperous city in Europe.
