buy your souvenirs there because it is usually less expensive since it contains less tourists. More

My 1st trip to Venice was spent in and around St. Mark's Square. This trip, thanks to a fellow tourist, was spent pretty much anywhere but SMS. We ventured into Cannaregio and loved its beauty and "old-world" charm.

Loved the area, fab shopping, good value place to eat & drink, great place to sit by the water and people watch. More
