Rialto Market
About Rialto Market
Venice's ancient food market — open since 1097 on the Grand Canal below the Rialto Bridge, with the fish market (pescheria) selling octopus, spider crabs, and branzino still caught in the Adriatic, and the produce market (erberia) with Venetian vegetables. Arrive before 11am; the surrounding bacari (wine bars) serve cicchetti (Venetian tapas) from 10am.
