Mercato di Sacca Fisola

Mercato di Sacca Fisola is a Friday-only market on Sacca Fisola, a largely residential artificial island at the western edge of Giudecca, about as far from Venice's tourist routes as a market gets. Vendors drive their stock in on trucks carried over by ferry, selling everything from fresh produce to vintage household goods and clothing straight off the truck bed.

The market runs Fridays only, 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Sacca Fisola sits at the western end of Giudecca, reachable by vaporetto or on foot across the bridge from the rest of Giudecca -- worth combining with a wider Giudecca visit rather than a trip on its own.
