Venice shops on Sunday

I have moved my trip to next year, but I am hopeful that I can go to Italy. Thank you to all of the wonderful Europeans who expressed their sympathy for this terrible tragedy. If I am able to go to Venice, I will be there on a Sunday. I know what is open in terms of museums, but I would like to know if shops are open on Sunday and what there Sunday hours are. I will be in Venice from noon on Sunday to around noon on Monday. I plan to take the Doge's tour Monday morning, so if I could shop on Sunday, that would be good.

Good morning, "Novice"??? Beleive yoiu will find that a lesser number of stores will be open in the Pza S.Marco, less between the Pza and Rialto, some along the Rio Terra, Lista di Spagna leading from the Venice SL Station to the Ponte Rialto. Not all but a good number as Sunday is a day when many IT tourists come to visit. Richard of LaGrange Park, Il..

Novice: For your tour of the Doges Palace, consider going on the "Secret Itinerary" tour (see discussion thread). When I was in Venice, I went on a regular tour thru AMEX. Wasn't aware of this other option; it sounds interesting.

Thank you Richard and zztop (one of my favorite bands as a youth!) So, there are some stores open on Sunday. That is good to know. And I was planning to go on the Secret Itn. tour of the Doge's palace. One more question, do any of you know if the American Express Gondola tours operate on Sunday evening?

Good evening, Novice???? Do not know if American Express runs their gondola trips on Sunday, and am sure their office on the Sal San Moise is also closed... A Venice by night-Gondola Serenade Operates from March to October. Depature from Campo Santa Maria del Giglio :0715 to 0815PM. The Gondola Station is on the Grand Canal alonside the S.Maria del Giglio vaporetto stop.. takes about 50 minutes and according to www.travelvantage.com/tours_venice.html costs about $40.00 per person.. Too bad you put if off to next year , next couple of months, even up to mid November are our favorites in Venice. Richard of LaGrange Park, Il...
