You will find many people from Venezia buying because is very difficult the find variety in the grocery stores in Venezia. The place is super noisy and very crowded.

For sheer life and colour the Rialto market has it all, and no market in the world has a better setting. Here, in the shadow of the Rialto Bridge, an early morning ritual has been happening for close on a thousand years.

Spend a while browsing the fresh fruit, vegetables and spices but don't miss the fish! It sounds weird but it is fascinating to see the variety available and gives you a better idea of what you are ordering at lunch later!
