“One of my favorite memories of travel anywhere in my entire life was sitting at Cafe Florian with my daughter, listening to the dueling orchestras as the sun set, the sky turned colors and the lights went on around St Marks Square.”

“Hi, I was just there in May. Yes the dueling mini orchestras (3 of them) are in St Marks Square. There are tables to sit at but you must buy something while you sit there. They have waiters there. We walked there after dinner and listened while we ate our gelatto.”
