Shopping in Venice
Venice is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Some people think that Venice is not the most suitable place for shopping, arguing that there are not many shops here, and prices are exorbitant. In fact, Venetian prices for clothes, bags and other things are much lower than in Russia. As for the small number of stores, then one can argue with that. In every district of the city, there are many shops, boutiques overflowing with exquisite glassware, fine lace, luxurious paper, leather goods and clothing - the goods that once made Venice world famous..
What to buy in Venice as a gift:
- Art glass. First of all, a traveler who has visited this amazing city at least once should pay special attention to the products that were created by the hands of real Venetian masters.
