i love all the reviews re: rialto market.
is it set up every day ?
thankyou.
Tues till Sat, 06.00 till 12.00 hrs.
But if often goes on after noon. I have photos of us buying vegs there and I know it was when we were returning from a day's wander round Venice. Will have a look at the photos and tell you what time it was. Mind you, that was in winter when the hours might be different. Also, by noon there is less choice! It is also fascinating to be there at closing time and to see what goes on then.
Okay, I've had a quick zip through the photos - we have photos of us buying vegs on several occasions at times ranging from 13.14 to 16.02. Also looking at the fish market at 12.59 and 13.45 on two separate occasions. And lots of photos of clearing up on different occasions from 16.17 to 18.14!
No, I am not out with my timings, as the time on my camera is correct and it agrees with all the other timings of photos I took, including one which showed a clock - and we 'disagreed" by five minutes. However, as I said, we were there in January and it may well be that things are different there at that time of year - colder, darker and so on.
The Canale Grande is the most famous waterstreet in Venice. It meanders more than 3,5 km through all six districts of the historic centre. Only three bridges cross the Canale Grande. A trip with the vaporetti (water busses) #1 or #82 from the train station (Ferrovia) to St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco) offers scenic views of the historic facades along the Canale Grande.
Visit St. Mark's and the Rialto Bridge. There is a great market around the bridge. And, don't forget to go to Murano to buy a special piece of glass for a momento. Standing on the top of St. Mark's with my parents and my husband standing below photographing us. My parents were so happy to be there and I enjoyed so much taking them to a place they had only dreamed of.
The palace begun about 814, destroyed four times by fire, and each time rebuilt on a more magnificent scale. It is a remarkable building in Italian Gothic with some early Renaissance elements. The northern side of the piazza is occupied by the Procuratie Vecchie (1496) and the southern side by the Procuratie Nuove (1584), both built in Italian Renaissance style. During the time of the Venetian republic these buildings were the residences of the nine procurators, or magistrates, from among whom the doge, or chief magistrate, was usually selected.
What do you try to do when it is hot, too hot?
Cool off, exactly. Try an ice cream in stead of a Coke. It works wonders, but be aware you may get hooked on it.
I am, I admit.
This nice bar/gelateria on the the piazza just next to the church of S Maria Formosa serves probably the best yoghurt frutti di bosco and melone ice cream not just in Venice but on the globe. And it is actually very affordable - was it 80snt a pallina?
OK, not so much a 'cultural tip', but something very close to all of our hearts. Internet Cafe's. The best that I found in Venice is the VeNice (Ve Nice, get it) internet cafe. It's on Rio Terra Lista Di Spagna, next door to the Hotel Principe (and not far from the railway station). Internet acccess is reasonably priced, and you pay for what you have used - you don't have to block-buy 1/2 hour sessions or whatever (but beware you're not there all day and end up blowing your budget).
Another service they provide is the transfer of your digital pics onto CD. So if you're filling up your memory cards, or simply want a backup, you can do it here. It's only 5 euros to do the transfer (of as many pics as you want). If you can't connect your camera directly to the PC (USB cable has wrong connection, etc) then they will hire you a multi-format card reader for about 4 Euro. Also, they'll sell you blank CD's for 1.5 Euro. It's a great (and quite cheap) service.
