Here to unveil secrets of the old craft, listen to mysterious stories and learn more about different parts and materials used for the gondola.
One more site which is a must-see in Venice is Rialto bridge and its market which gives a unique chance to feel the real, authentic Venetian atmosphere. The market displays essential elements of local cuisine and might be considered as one of the very few open-air food markets still active in Italy.
