When searching for Venice travel tips, you’ve likely come across Café Florian 📍 Florian, a café with 300 years of history. ⏰ Open year-round: 9:00 AM - 12:00 AM Located in St. Mark’s Square, Café Florian is famous for the live music performances on its terrace. While there are indoor seating options, sitting outdoors comes with an additional €6 fee. I’ve visited twice—once ordering a latte and the second time trying their hot chocolate. Café Florian is renowned for its hot chocolate, which isn’t your typical drink. It’s rich and thick, almost like a chocolate waterfall—a perfect treat to recharge your energy! They also serve cookies that you can dip into the chocolate, making it a delightful experience to savor slowly. Personally, enjoying coffee while listening to live music is a rare and memorable experience. I highly recommend opting for the terrace seating, even if it costs extra.
