Venice Shopping Tips by sue_stone

Seafood Markets: Feeling Fishy!? Markets and supermarkets Review

Venice is the place to go to eat sea food - it is all so fabulous and fresh!

Whilst you are roaming around in Venice you will no doubt stumble across one of the fish markets dotted around the city. There is a large one early in the day in the Dorsoduro, and a few stalls can also be found in Campo Santa Margherita (where this picture was taken).

The main fish market or pescaria is located just near the Rialto bridge in San Polo. It has been in operation for 700 years!

Directions: Main markets near the Rialto Bridge, others in Dorsoduro.

Coloured Pasta shop: The Fanciest Pasta in town! Food, wine and sweets Review

Venice is filled with some fabulous food shops - alimentari's (grocery store/delis), fornaio's (bakery), pasticceria's (pastry shop) and other mouth watering places.

As you wander around the winding Venice streets you come across shop after shop tempting you to come in have a closer look.

One shop that particularly caught our eye, in the Dorsoduro region, was this interesting pasta shop - selling pasta in all shapes, sizes and colours!

Directions: In the Dorsoduro area.
