Campo Santa Margherita has recently become a happening place where the city’s young and beautiful people gather for fun and entertainment. This is place is full of cafes and bars. One of the liveliest options here is the Margaret Duchamp, which situated halfway between the train station and Ca' Rezzonico, and features an outside terrace and a designer interior.
