About this place Piccolo Mondo

Piccolo Mondo, also known as El Souk, is a tiny late-night disco tucked near the Accademia in Dorsoduro. Open since the 1960s, it is a mainstream, mixed tourist club rather than a dedicated gay venue - but because Venice's historic centre has no gay bar, it is the spot most gay travel guides point visitors toward for a late drink and a dance. Expect a small floor, a cover charge and a mixed international crowd. For a genuine gay night out, locals head to the clubs of Padua (Padova), about 40 minutes away by train.

Stumbled upon this place on a wander through beautiful Venice this week. How charming to happen upon this mysterious and inviting door while meandering cobblestone streets?! We were wondering if there was a secret knock to get in, but didn't have the chance to find out because unfortunately they weren't open while we were there, but hope to visit next time!

Historic nightclub with a unique atmosphere, obviously small, but special....
