Updated for 2026: COIN is still a useful stop in Venice if you want a proper department store rather than another souvenir shop. Expect a mix of fashion, beauty, and home items, with seasonal sales and a more practical shopping experience than you will find in most of the historic center.
COIN is one of Italy's best-known department store chains, with branches in cities across the country. Rome, for example, has several locations.
At COIN, you'll find a broad mix of products: well-known fashion brands, in-house labels, and plenty of items that are hard to come by elsewhere. Alongside premium names, there are also more affordable sections, and, as in much of Italy, seasonal sales can be very good.
The selection covers men's and women's clothing, perfumes and cosmetics, accessories, appliances, electronics, and home goods. There is enough variety here to keep even reluctant shoppers interested.
Another very practical reason to stop by is the free restroom. That may not sound like much at first, but in Venice it can be surprisingly useful.
