Description:

Experience daily Venetian life at the centuries-old Rialto Market and explore the winding streets of San Polo, the city's oldest neighborhood. Stop and savor some authentic cicchetti, locally made appetizers straight from the market.

Any foodie's first stop in Venice includes the open-air Rialto Market, a mainstay for more than 900 years and a feast for the senses. Listen to vendors call out the day's best offers for their rows of fruits and vegetables and marvel at the fishermen’s fresh catch.

Savor the local lifestyle and taste a cicchetto, fried meatballs, creamy codfish mousse or a creative bruschetta. Enjoy a take a breaking pause with an ombra, the term used by locals for a small glass of wine.

Stroll across romantic bridges and along canals and explore the historic San Polo. Visit one of the greatest churches in the city, the Basilica dei Frari. This Gothic church holds a collection of exceptional works of art. Many come here for the altarpiece, Titian's “Assumption of the Virgin,” but don't miss masterpieces by Bellini and Donatello.
