Most pharmacies in Venezia are open from around 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and then again from 3:30 PM to 7:30 PM on weekdays. Unfortunately, there aren’t any pharmacies in Venice open 24/7 and many are closed on Sundays. The pharmacies in Italy are probably different than what you may be used to at home, so tourists and expats should be wary of self-diagnosing and requesting the drug that they think may be most appropriate. Italian pharmacists tend to take their own liberties when giving medication. Consulting a qualified doctor is always best.
