This historic bridge connects the Doge's Palace with its prisons and was named for the condemned prisoners who crossed it to meet their executioners.

The Bridge of Sighs is world renown, it is packed with tourists coming and going, there is a lot of pushing and chaffing going on, everyone wants to take a photo of this scene, and the once who take " selfies " really jam up this beautiful sight best seen from the bridge where this photo was taken..The Bridge of Sighs is made from white limestone passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. A MUST see...

Connecting Castelvecchio and Adige, this powerful bridge was first built in the 1st century AD, destroyed during World War II, and rebuilt using parts of the original structure.

This was the highlight of my Verona holiday, the bridge is in fantastic shape considering its age, it is a great photo opportunity with fab views up and own the river. We loved it so much we came back again at night to get some night shots when its all lit up. Without a doubt my favourite spot in Verona.
3. Ponte dell'Accademia

Reviewed By planetogra - Tewantin, Australia
An unusual wooden bridge that spans the Grand Canal & overlooks some truly impressive Grand Palazzo & provides some magical photo panoramas of this busy waterway. It tends not to attract the hordes of tourists & although a popular crossing, does not seem to end up congested. The vaporetto wharves are close by & are a logical kick off point for all points along the Grand Canal. Certainly an ideal spot to aim for to view Santa Maria di Salute.

As others at TA have mentioned, the Ponte San Michele is at the south end of Vicenza, not far from the Basilica, and viewing it from the bridge more to the west provides for great views looking both at the bridge and water at the left, and waterway toward the right. Reminded us of a similar view in Colmar. On a sunny day, this is definitely a worthwhile minor detour for a picturesque view of a very peaceful area of town.
5. Ponte degli Alpini
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,178 reviews
This marvelous bridge made in wood, named Ponte Degli Alpini, is dated from 1209, although it was rebuilt some times along the centuries. It is also called Ponte Vecchio, and the view one can enjoy from it, over the Brenta river and facing the Alpes during the Winter, is simply great !

It is being repaired but once it is finished it will be back to its glory. It really is very different from any other covered bridge I have seen.
6. Ponte Pietra

This is the bridge recommended by the hotel as a must see, it is an old bridge but nothing spectacular. You can get to the funicular railway here and see the Castle San Pietro good views and then cross the bridge afterwards which then gives you easy access to the San Giovanni in Fonte which in turn will take you onto the Plazza Dei Signori lots of market stalls here and restaurants for the weary traveller. Be prepared for lots of walking we did 18 Kms but you sleep well????
