A trip to Italy is often associated with shopping. And although Milan is considered the main shopping center, you can find something interesting anywhere in Italy and Venice is no exception.
The Mercheri area used to be just a street with local shops. Today Merchery occupies a fairly large area. It is here that you can buy souvenirs that symbolize Venice. These are antique dolls, Venetian-style jewelry, leather-bound notebooks and much more for every taste and color.
Boutique street. Larga XXII Marzo consists of boutiques. Here you can find any brand, but the main focus is, of course, on shoes and bags, which are so famous in Italy for their highest quality.
Gold shops. They are located next to the Rialto Bridge. For lovers of gold jewelry, with the symbols of Venice. Gondola pendants, for example, are available here. Jewelry prices are average. But if you prefer only diamonds, you should go to the San Marco Gallery.
Another symbol of the city is Venetian masks. They can be found in the Marega workshops. The pricing policy is different, it all depends on the material. Clay masks are the cheapest, but they are very heavy, and leather masks with rich decor are too expensive. Papier-mâché masks are popular among tourists.
You can taste hard cheeses, see how they are stored and made in the Parmesan Palace. Here are some types of cheese such as pecorino, asiago and parmesan itself. The shop is located in the Rialto market.
