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).

Access to the terrace is free but booking the visit is mandatory. The visit lasts a maximum of 15 minutes.
