    Market stalls

    My wife certainly enjoyed browsing the market stalls in Rialto. Much more than I did. There were lots of stalls. Fresh food, vegetable and fishes. Some of the smells were a bit on the strong side.

    As part of our tour, we got off our water taxi by the Rialto Market. Unfortunately it was late afternoon so a number of stalls were empty already.

    San Polo
    The Rialto Bridge is the most famous sight along the
    Grand Canal in San Polo, smallest of Venice's six
    sestieri (districts) and by far the busiest
    neighborhood. Morning Venetians arrive to peruse the
    markets for fish, fruit and vegetables, while shops
    display goods from cheese to wine to desserts. San
    Silvestro and Rialto Market vaporetto (water taxi)
    stops add to the steady stream of foot traffic. San

    There are plenty of flowers, both fresh and dried, at the market. I saw many shops nearby and others in town that had flowers. It is always best to go early in the day for the largest selection of both food and flowers! Good... More
