Mestre offers practical, affordable shopping that Venice does not. Centro Le Barche, reachable on the number 4 bus, has chain stores including H&M, a department store, a supermarket, and a Feltrinelli bookshop with a good English-language selection. Piazza Ferretto and the streets around it have smaller independent shops selling clothing, Murano glass, masks, and souvenirs. Most shops open from 9:30 to 12:30 and 15:30 to 19:30, though many stay open through lunch. Bakeries and food shops tend to close on Sundays.
