4 places
The majority of the shops in Venice open at 9 AM and don’t close until 8 PM. 1 PM to 3 PM lunch breaks are very common in the local stores, especially the smaller ones.
If you don’t like crowds you´re on the right way. These places are much better than the Piazza San Marco in this regard. Avoid shopping in the evening hours.
Another plus to this area is the number of different annual antique fairs that are held here. You get four chances a year, in April, June, mid September and Christmas.
It is possible to buy Missoni’s trademark knitted zig-zags in Venice, alongside a limited selection of products from the brand’s home collection.
