The area
Neighborhood: San Marco
The most famous sestiere (district) in Venice has one of the world's most famous squares, St. Mark's (Piazza San Marco). Anchored on one end by the basilica, clustered around it are restaurants, museums, shops, orchestras playing in the square, pigeons, the grand pink Doge’s Palace (Palazzo Ducale), the soaring campanile bell tower, an astrological clock tower, plus gorgeous cafes and restaurants like Florian and Quadri. Piazza San Marco is beloved by Venetians themselves. They book a table anytime, which offers a buffer from the fray. This grand outdoor drawing room attracts Venetians for a stroll too, especially late in the afternoon when the hoards of daytrippers thin out. It's simply a grand place to meet.

We ended up visiting Campo San Luca a few times during our recent trip to Venice. It is quite centrally located just past Rialto Bridge in the direction of Piazza San Marco. In this square you can find a decent looking bar, called Bar Torino. As it was Carnival season during our visit and there were some light music concerts in the square at night time, we think this was put on by Bar Torino.
Here we also found a nice little panificio/cafe that was stuffed with customers, seemingly every time we passed by. We also dined at a restaurant called Leon Bianca, just off the square. While the mains here were sub-par, we really enjoyed the starters, desserts and wine.
Also, just back down an alley off Campo San Luca on Calle Del Carbon, we found a tiny little pizzeria called Becca Pizza, with a sign outside said "Pizza Pronto. This was a very good discovery, the best thin crust pizza we found in Venice.
Overall, we enjoyed the little square square called Campo San Luca. It was a nice little place, with decent restaurants, pizzerias, panifico/cafe and bars and not difficult to find, just being a short walk away from Rialto Bridge. Thus, while not the best square in Venice, we felt like Campo San Luca was good enough for a stop or pass through while visiting the city.

This small campo, located a short distance from Piazza San Marco can be very crowded. It is the location for tour groups to meet. It also has a bank, a great pasticceria and numerous stores. Many Venetians consider this square the very heart of the city.

Campo San Luca is a small square located a short distance from St Marks. There is a bar (Blackjacks), a tour company (Bucintoro Viaggi), a bank w/ATM, a bakery and a few other shops. We came here to meet up with our tour group.

So buzzy and friendly and the Spritz made with Aperol , orange , huge olive and good humour. Also, the customary free accompanying nibbles. Great service, atmosphere, value, drinks and ----- great cakes too. A thousand times better than the hyped Harry's Bar.

Campo San Luco has many roads into it, it's a lovely little square which I stumbled on when on route to St Marcos square, take a step back and watch locals and tourist hustling away, some great shops around here too.

The interesting thing about this piazza is the mix of people that one will see here. Not entirely touristy as there are few sites in the area (La Scala Bovolo, Teatre Fenice) but is much more local as there are many residences and a large local government building nearby. A number of shops, a couple of bars and a restaurant line the piazza. We actually visited here a few times during our stay to grab a coffee or an afternoon snack.

If you come to Venice, you will undoubtedly find yourself walking around this lovely area. The area is so packed though so you may want to go to other areas once you’ve had enough. The gelato stores here lol are quite tasty!

Campo San Luca :- A bustling square at the heart of Venice’s historic center, Campo San Luca has long been a popular meeting point for locals, and its constant stream of visitors make it a lively hub both day and night. Home to a cluster of shops, cafés and restaurants, Campo San Luca makes a good spot for people-watching, but it’s also an important navigational landmark, just a short stroll from the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge, en route to Piazza San Marco.

One of dozens of squares you can pass through near to San Marco. Unremarkable as it is set in Venice, it is still an inspiring place to see if you are passing through
