LOCATION

The Rialto Market is where Venice wakes up. For centuries, locals have come here to pick up fresh seafood, fruits, and vegetables, and the tradition is still alive today. It’s loud, colorful, and full of energy, the kind of place where you catch a real glimpse of daily Venetian life. Even if you don’t buy anything, wandering through the stalls is an experience in itself.
