Floating Fruit & Vegetable Boat – End of Via Garibaldi
📍 Castello, Venice

At the quiet end of Via Garibaldi, beyond the cafés and chatter, floats one of Venice’s most beloved everyday scenes — a simple wooden boat moored along the canal, overflowing with seasonal fruit and vegetables.

Locals shop here like they’ve done for generations, exchanging a few coins and a few words with the vendor. There’s no sign, no pretense — just crates of tomatoes, basil, peaches, and peppers gently rocking with the tide.

Photographically, it’s a gift: rich textures, soft morning light, and slices of real life. Whether you're a street photographer or just soaking in the atmosphere, this floating market is a detail of Venice many miss — but one that stays with you long after.

🕐 Best light: Mornings, before 11 AM
🎯 Tip: Step back across the bridge for a wide shot, then get closer for candid, intimate frames.
