Mercato di Rialto

Rialto Market

Fresh Fish and Vegetable Market


Expert Pick Family Time Must See

Address:
San Polo
Venice, Veneto

Description

This historic, open-air fresh fish and vegetable market has undergone gradual but perceptual change in recent decades, as the balance of native Venetians to foreign and temporary inhabitants has shifted dramatically. You'll still find everything you'll eat for lunch or dinner in the evening for sale here in its pre-cooked form in this energetic, colorful, morning market. Vegetable market is open every day but Sunday, fish market is closed Sunday and Monday.
