Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge)
3 savesRecommendation by Lemi
The oldest bridge in Venice, Ponte di Rialto is a Renaissance-style stone arch link between the San Polo and San Marco districts. Until the 1850s, it was the only fixed structure crossing the Grand Canal. A reincarnation of past bridges, its current form is considered a feat in architecture and engineering.

After a stroll through the markets, follow the trail of tourists to Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge). Visit early, as the crowd quickly thickens after 9:00AM. Waking up at sunrise is well worth the effort—the early morning brings out beautiful colors on the Grand Canal and its waterfront. Venice’s different boats sputter along the main thoroughfare as light glints off the surface of the water. There is a reason the Ponte di Rialto is a prime tourist spot all year-round. Come back at sunset for that coveted golden-hued photograph.
