In the ultimate Venetian quarter, in Rialto, among the picturesque fruit and vegetable market and the very characteristic fish market, 2 minutes away from Rialto Bridge and 10 minutes from Saint Mark' Square, the room-rental Locanda Poste Vecie is in a privileged position from where to comfortably explore the alluring charm of Venice on foot. At only 200 meters you will find the "Rialto" vaporetto stop. The surrounding areas to the Locanda are bustling with activity even in the early hours of the day when the market bursts with the sounds of typical Venice. The Bacari are great for some shadow (glass of wine) and a "cicheto" (small salty snack), and why not pastries for a "golosesso" (a taste of something sweet) and coffee. Then continue on to shops specializing in a wide range of merchandise that bring to mind old oriental market places. The trendiest boutiques are just after Rialto Bridge, on the Mercerie that lead to Saint Mark's where one of the most beautiful squares in the world is waiting for you with its monuments and museums of immense historical and artistic importance: Saint Mark Basilica , Ducal Palace, Loggia del Campanile, Procuratie with Biblioteca Marciana and Museo Correr.
