I went very early in the morning, around 07:30, when they were still setting up. Very good time since I was almost alone with the entire market to myself, unlike later when it is full of other tourists. The quality is very good, but the prices are not cheap.

Beautiful and unique Venice. Palazzo Ducale, Campanile, Rialto Bridge, Grand Canal.... wonders to see. It's a shame that the little time available didn't allow us to visit the islands of Murano and Burano. I'll do it next time

This is the city market that we managed to get to during our brief visit to this marvelous town. It was pleasant to walk around the display of fresh food for sale, as well as some cheeses, etc. I wondered how everyone got their purchases home?

We had wanted to prepare the famous “SAOR” (flavor in Veneto dialect) and what better occasion was to go to this renowned Point of Sale since we were in the Lagoon?? Soon said and ..... soon done : we entered decidedly into this commercial area of historic dating and between the “ciacolare “ 🗣️ aloud of both Sellers and Buyers we jostled for the stalls in search of SARDINE 🐟 ! We found few .... but we found them: they were in a box on the bench of the elderly Fishmonger who guarded them “lovingly” as if they were ..... children! We bought it for about two kilos .... because the amount to cook had to be so much to make it taste then to the whole “couple” .... Unique and captivating experience!!

A beautiful covered market for fish, vegetables and spices close to the Rialto Bridge. An early morning trip is the best - it’s not crowded and it’s fun to watch the vendors set up. The fish and vegetables are the real deal - we saw locals making their selections- but the spice stalls are typically for tourists. Glad we went!

I like markets. I like the mix of colors, sounds, smells, feelings that I can find in such a place. Wherever I go, if I have time and if it's easy to reach, I pass through the market at least once. In the daily trips made by vaporetto along the Grand Canal I noticed the market in the area of the Rialto Bridge. On one of the days, arriving earlier in the area, I stopped at the Rialto Bridge, crossed it and headed to the Mercati di Rialto located in the San Polo district. My expectations were not disappointed: many stalls with fresh products, especially fruits and vegetables, but also spices, pasta, pastries, small cheese shops, or meat dishes. I really liked Pescheria, that is the fish market. It is arranged in a large hall so that the goods are protected from seagulls who are a real nuisance in Venice. The market has an old history. It is said that from the sixteenth century until now, only the awnings in the market have changed and electronic cash registers have appeared.
