Itinerary
Day 1
Descending the Rialto bridge, we enter the Rialto market district. In the mornings the place is thronged with locals who get there to buy fresh vegetables, fish, meat and cheese into the numerous shops. Rialto was the commercial center of Venice for much of its history. The same name conjures up what probably was the single richest market in Europe for oriental goods and luxury products like spices, jewellery, precious stones, carpets, fabrics, pigments, and much more.
Later on we will move into the nearby former 'red light district' of the city, the so-called Castelletto, where more prosaic dealings were taking place. A visit into the noble palazzo Mocenigo and its textiles and costumes museum will be next: the right place to breath the sophisticated ambiance of the family that gave six doges to the Most Serene Republic.
A stop in one of the many 'bacari' or local food&wine inns, typically located in the Rialto area, will add some authentic flavor to our relaxed wandering and close today's tour.
