Fondaco Tedeschi Rooftop Terrace

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’s a good shopping center, but more than that, it has one of the best rooftop terraces (free!) in Venice. You can only access it with a booking and slots get filled very quickly. For your chance to see the view it is best to book early (link below).
