We squeezed in a quick visit from our hotel on the morning of our departure just before our vaporetto passes ran out. It's a great spot to explore - some really lovely, friendly stallholders selling some terrific ingredients, fresh and delicious - and only too pleased to let you sample before purchase! We picked up the freshest artichokes I have... More

This is a produce market located near the Rialto bridge....well known and you can get fresh veggies, fruit, meats, cheeses, etc. here. We found this little bistro and had a really large American breakfast that was very reasonably priced (if possible) in Venice...no cover charge, or service fee. The place was filled with locals and the food was great. The... More

And the last fish & fruit market we visited was last year in Saigon Vietnam, with the level of indifference regarding the humane approach to displaying "fresh" seafood being a World away from this little market in Venice. No live frogs hanging up, or many other creatures breathing and suffering their last and so on. So it was a relief... More

We had a wee kitchen so we decided to cook at home... Bought a huge bunch of asparagus, fish, scallops (with roe) zucchini etc etc and cooked up a storm... And saved loads of money too. Prices much cheaper than in Australia!

At the map the market is in other side of Veneza, but it is close to the Riaalto bried. We walk a lot and then we motice that the market was near our hotel, at this time the aplication was very wrong.

If you want to see and smell incredible fish, fruit and vegetables, local people choosing their delicacies, you should not miss Rialto Market. It is a lively meeting place of tourists and locals and vendors, and makes a nice change from all the palazzos and churches as a sight to see. There's lots of nice little shops along the narrow...

This is a bustling, colorful market. Yes, it's full of tourists but who cares!?! The fish market is full of strange sea creatures that make for great photos. And just knowing that there's been a market there for over 1,000 years is amazing in itself. You can spend hours here or just a few minutes but either way, you shouldn't... More

We were very disappointed to see all the graffiti on the Rialto bridge a great shame that people have no respect such a great piece of history. Note this is still very popular and busy with lots of people.
