2Bridge of Sighs

Although only a tiny bridge in the relative scheme of Venice, the Bridge of Sighs is one of the city’s most viewed structures and an important historic landmark.

Legend has it that as criminals were taken from the Palace over the bridge, they would cast one last glimpse at Venice and sigh, considering their forthcoming punishment and imprisonment. Visiting St. Mark’s Square is an absolute must to glimpse this iconic bridge, too.
