Nightlife
In central Venice, every footstep reverberates along the calli (alleyways), and noise re-
strictions nix dance-club scenes. Things look up in summer, when beach clubs open on the
Lido, and at Lido di Jesolo, about an hour's drive northeast of Venice along the Adriatic
Coast. Padua also has a happening club scene, including gay and lesbian venues.
