Tarot shops in Venice, Italy

In two weeks, after my marriage, I will finally go to Venice with my love. I have been to Rome, Sienna and other places in Italy but now I will go and see the canals and opera. Of course we will make a trip in a gondola!
Now I was wondering if anybody knows tarot shops there. I can imagine that there must be a few! I searched the web but could only find online tarot service. Any Italians or others here that can help me finding the way to metaphysica shops? Thanks in advance!

Tarot in Venice

As is the case in many cities in Europe, tobacconist shops are often the best source of Tarot decks in Venice.

The island's shaped like a fish, and the streets interconnect, so you can't really get lost. So ... wander! And, as you wander, keep your eyes open, particularly for tobacconist shops. When I was there, I found several out of print and hard to find decks in the glass counters near the cash registers of shops all over the island.

I also found shops packed with exquisite decks on or near streets called CALLE DE LA MANDOLA and RIO TERA DE LA MONDOLA.

Enjoy your trip!

Hi

Mark gave you the right lead, but be aware that in Venezia everything is very expensive, and all in Euros!. I'm Venetian and I go back frequently to visit my family. Last time I was there, just a few months ago, I wanted it to buy the Tarot of Venice....oh boyyyy! The tobbaconist asked me 58 euros for them, about 85 us dollars (or more). Guess what I did! I bought them when I got back to the States for $62 circa (shipping expenses included). Save your money to buy other beautiful things that you will find only in Venezia! Have a nice trip! Ciao!
