Ponte dei Sospiri

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...

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.

Ponte di Rialto

Considered the true heart of Venice, this landmark bridge, characterized by its 24-foot arch, is built on approximately 12,000 wooden pilings that still support the bridge more than 400 years after it was built.

A vibrant area of the city, full of local venetians going about their daily life, plus the masses of tourists, a great place either by day or even more magical at night when lights from Palazzo's reflecting on the Grande Canale. Originally many hundreds of years ago it was a floating wooden bridge - today a beautiful white marble bridge designed by Antonio Da Ponte. Today it has new stone steps on the outer edges - recently refurbished, gone are the centuries old very worn shiny steps. The inner steps are lined on both sides with tourist shops. The bridge from both sides is now looking so clean, at the base of the bridge, you will see Saints and Madonna’s carved here. Looking south, is the Riva del Vin on the right, wine barges used to moor there, now lined with masses of gondolas and lots of tourist restaurants.North on the right you will see the 16th-century Fondaco dei Tedeschi, formerly the Main Post Office – now a very expensive department store. On the left bank is Fondamenta de la Preson, named the debtor’s prison. The San Polo side of the bridge is the home to fascinating Palazzo’s, narrow alleyways, interesting shops, plus the fruit & vegetable market, and the very smellie fish market, and where the first banks where established.

This is a very unique bridge in Venice, as it's the only one without rails. All other bridges had rails installed.
