  • Name of Shop: various

    Venice's shops and stalls are not surprisingly awash with masks. My favourite was one in Cannaregio which had huge animal ones. However, most have the more famous glittering faces. They come in both decorative and real sizes so prizes are as varied as size and style. It also pays to look around a bit as you can find very varied quality and also varying prizes for the same type of mask. The real hand made ones can be gorgeous and is a special souvenir if you can bring it home.


    What To Pay: Anything from five to thousands of euro.
