Be seduced in Venice by glittering glassware from Murano, multi-coloured crystal baubles and shimmering Venetian glass jewellery on Venice shopping trips. You'll find artisan workshops crafting papier-mâché Carneval masks and leatherwear in San Polo and Dorsoduro on your shopping trip. Venice's upmarket fashion boutiques are near San Marco.
Window-shop at designer fashion boutiques on Venice's Calle Largo XXII Marzo and hunt for souvenirs between San Marco and Campo Santo Stefano, and around the Rialto Bridge. Hop on a ferry to the island of Murano if Venetian glassware is a priority on your Venice shopping trip. You might find some authentic lace in Burano on your shopping trips and Venice's famous Fortuny silk on Giudecca. Or head where Venetians have shopped for centuries on your shopping trip around Venice - to speciality shops lining Calle dei Fabbri, the Mercerie and Frezzeria.
Browse the Rialto produce market on your shopping trip to Venice and look for gastronomic souvenirs of Venice at nearby delicatessens. Who knows what second-hand treasures you might find at the San Maurizio flea market near San Marco and on Campo dei Miracoli in Cannaregio.
Have plenty of tissue paper and bubble wrap on hand when you fill your suitcase with delicate souvenirs of your shopping trip to Venice. Keep fragile Murano glassware for your hand luggage, along with millefiori mosaic-like glassware paperweights and papier-mâché Carneval masks. Reams of marbled paper, ceramics painted with Venetian scenes and a light-up gondola music box playing snatches of Vivaldi's Four Seasons as it spins all makes great presents.
