  • Name of Shop: Public market

    "Lunghezze minime permesse per la vendita
    del pesce delle seguenti qualita"
    Without doubt the fish sold on the public markets is fresh.
    But there are also official rules about the minimum lenght those fresh products should have


    What To Pay: Less than average

    Murano Glassware: Murano handy craft

  • Name of Shop: Several on the island Murano

    My next stop in Venice will be without doubt
    on one of the Islands like Murano or Burano.
    Glass craft is a highlight

    What To Buy: I saw this Murano horse made out of glass in Venice itself. But exporting this tremendous piece of local art would certainly exceed the permitted weight on Ryanair flights.(Max.weight is 10kg)
    And i forgot my creditcard ..... haha

     Lovely photos of Venice. Did you bump into Romeo and Juliet when you were in Venice ;))

     Luc I love Venice, it was a pity we were there for only two nights, and one day at Burano Island. Next time we will stay longer. Your Venice page is great.

     The self service restaurant called Chat Qui Rit is worth a visit to see just how rude the cashier and manager can be. They are unbelieveable.

     I'm going back to Venice in March and I can't wait! But I think I'll skip your idea of going up in a balloon, and I'm afraid, the 1000 $ glass figurines will have to stay in the shop.
