We're going to travel on Monday, Jan. 6, 2003 (3 Kings Day) from Florence to Venice. Will anything be anything be open in Venice? Also, I want to do a little shopping in Venice - any suggestions for best buys and where? Thanks for your help.

As far as I recall 3 King's day is a Spanish festival day , not an Italian

Diana- There is a festival in Venice on Jan 6. Not sure it's called 3 kings. Maybe San Stefano? Anyway, don't know if things are closed but it may be difficult to get around. Try emailing your hotel for info.<BR><BR>I'd also like shopping tips so hoping someone will reply to that.

Epifania (January 6) IS indeed a holiday in Italy.<BR>Not sure, what's open and what not. <BR>Maybe some Italian residents can answer this one.

Epifania is indeed a minor festivity in Italy too. In Venice or Florence I would be very astonished if anything closed down in during a festivity that is part of the main touristic period except for August, in any case.
