"What's old is new again at Venice 's most buzzed-about shopping destination: a department store opened in 2017 in a building dating to the 1500s. An even earlier iteration, a 13th-century trading hall for German ("tedeschi") merchants, went up in flames. It's a gorgeous space to see—and Instagram—even if you're not in the market for a Gucci handbag or Bottega Veneta sunglasses. There's a small food hall that features local products, including Burano lace, and the family behind Venice's longstanding Quadri provides the food at a café in the central atrium. Don't leave without making your way up to the roof for sweeping views of the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge."
