Venice Lido Market Shopping Stroll

The weekly market on the Venice Lido is famously known as "the market with the best views in the world".  Indeed, you will enjoy sweeping views of the Bacino di San Marco, the skyline of Venice and the Islands of the lagoon during this excursion. But that's not the only reason to go there!  This bustling market is also the very best place to shop for local, regional and Italian foods in Venice.

Between more that a kilometer of market stalls, there are produce from the islands of the lagoon, Italian cheeses, cured meats, candies, preserves and hundreds of other delicacies to discover.  There are also antique furnishings, textiles, home goods, plants & flowers, art supplies and just about anything else one could need or imagine.
 
On this 3 hour excursion, your host will travel with you from central Venice to Lido - 10 minutes by boat - walk with you to and through the market while assembling a fresh and generous tasting of specialties from various stalls.  You will have plenty of time to explore the stalls most interesting to you.  And, your host will gladly provide you with any help you want with shopping from the stalls in Italian. ​
