Shopping StreetsFrom: Venice's Top 11 Free Sights
ABOVE: Commuters and shoppers mingle on a Venice pedestrian thoroughfare. Shopping isn't free in Venice, but window-shopping is--and there are plenty of boutiques to ogle or browse.
The Rialto Bridge and the Rialto Food Markets (discussed earlier in this guide) are packed with shoppers; on the San Polo side of the bridge, turn left and follow the series of narrow streets all the way to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Dorsoduro if you can avoid getting lost. You'll pass souvenir shops, jewelers like Marfil, the Il Pavone stationery store, and other types of stores. (As you get closer to the tip of Dorsoduro, you'll see more art galleries and antique dealers.)
Finally, you may want to think twice before purchasing counterfeit handbags and other goods from illegal street vendors. (See article links below.) Related articles: Fines for Fakes (Counterfeit Products) Next page: Islands of the Lagoon
