Ponte della Paglia is the perfect spot to take photos of the Bridge of Sighs! Ponte della Paglia is not particularly large, but is a very busy one, being in a rather central area of the city, near St Marco Square and on the Grande Canal side. I think it also has wheel chair access, at least it did when we were there last May for a few days. The views are stunning from here and the Ponte dei Sospiri gets most of them! Ahhh, sigh!!! Don't miss it, it's free!
