T Fondaco dei Tedeschi by DFS

Amazing place with an awesome view and the best thing is for free! Recommended 100%

High-end mall with free rooftop access to a city-view. Stop by if you have some time, otherwise don't sweat over it. You have to sign up online for an appointment and get there on time. You go up the velvet escalator and wait for about 5-10 minutes in a group to get to the rooftop. Once you get there, you get a good view of Rialto bridge and the whole city. Since it's built more in the center, you can see straight down, so the photos might come out weird if you don't angle them correctly. You get 10-15 minutes to admire the view, then get down via stairs. Mall looks nice, but way too expensive.

Wonderful building, nice selection and very friendly staff🙂

Many thanks to Elisa from the first floor (I believe she said food section) , excellent consultation not only about the products which we ended up buying but also in terms of info’s regarding Venice in general :)!!

Ultra cool department store very close to the Rialto Bridge, the true definition of opulence this department store could teach UK department stores a lesson, probably the closest experience I’ve had to Harrods in another country! The store is structured across floors, with large number of staff on hand to deal with your enquiries. All staff are attentive and great with enquiries! Too it off with a stylish roof terrace (you need to book in advance) to get great panoramas of Venice.
