The merchants of Venice

Have you ever wondered how the city of the Merchant of Venice did look like? You have a chance to discover it when walking around the Rialto bridge area. At a walking distance, you will find the place where there used to be the house of the most famous merchant of Venice: Marco Polo. Moreover, you will see another important site where merchants gathered in Venice: the fondaco dei Tedeschi, centre of the life and business of traders from Northern Europe when in Venice.
The best time for a walk in this unknown part of Venice is in the morning, to enjoy the colours and smells of ancient Rialto market, still on activity.
