8Rialto Bridge and Grand Canal Gazing

The Rialto Bridge, one of Venice’s most famous landmarks, is a stunning sight to behold.

This 16th-century marvel connects the districts of San Marco and San Polo, and crossing it offers spectacular views of the Grand Canal. While walking across the bridge is free, you can also appreciate the grandeur of the Grand Canal by taking a walk along the waterfront or sitting on the steps nearby and watching the gondolas glide by.
