About
The Fondaco Tedeschi is a 13th century building, devastated by fire in the 15th century and rebuilt.
For a long time it was owned by the Italian Post Office but was sold to the Benneton group for its conversion into a shopping center. It opened in 2016.
For tourism, it was a good shopping center, but more than that, it had one of the best rooftop terraces (free!) in Venice.
Depite the closure, we hope in the future it will be able to re-open.
For the moment, an alternative exploration of Venice rooftop terraces with a prosecco or two is available from the tour listed below.
Fondaco Tedeschi Closure
The Fondaco dei Tedeschi is now closed.
The DFS Group, which managed the store, announced the closure in November 2024. The store’s lease ends in September 2025. The store is closing as part of a global restructuring by DFS Group.
