Local Customs: Do not touch the fruit or vegetables!!
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • There are fruit and vegetable boats in some of the canals plus there is a big outdoor market. When you want to buy something, point at the item, but do not touch!! We saw one woman starting to rummage through the fruit and the vendor nearly fainted. The vendor refused to sell to the woman.

     Your narrative about shopping for groceries was very helpful. It sounds like a great way to get into the culture and save on the food bill as well. I can't wait to put myself in your shoes -- in about 4 months!!!

     S. Maria del Carmelo is a great little church (I'm a fan of Tiopolo). Nice area to stay and you've put together a nice Venice page. Bravo ciao

     A good introduction to the practical side of staying in Venice. We'll be staying in an apartment on a calle off Campo Santa Margherita at the start of September so enjoyed your 'local' information!
