Create an itinerary including Ponte di Rialto
Overlook the Grand Canal from one of Venice's most important landmarks, Ponte di Rialto. Anchoring the historic city center, the iconic bridge is an example of 16th-century architecture, with two steep ramps meeting to form an uncharacteristically high arch of 7.5 m (25 ft). Take a traditional gondola tour of the canal to admire the historic structure from the water. You also can stand in the archways of Venice's oldest canal bridge. Add Ponte di Rialto to your Venice travel itinerary, and discover new vacation ideas by using our Venice attractions planning tool.

  • While there are good views from the Rialto Bridge, there are plenty of bridges throughout Venice that provide lovely views and that aren't a mass of tourists and people aggressively trying to sell...

  • The best experience in Venice, both from the bridge and from the gondola below. Iconic and majestic at the same time. If you visit on the first Sunday of June, there are rowing competition and the ambiance changes as there are no water buses or, taxis. Highly recommended.
  • It's beautiful. But too much crowded. You'll find good restaurant at every corner. I wanted to try Gondola ride but it's 80€ for 1 person. You can find other options online for enjoying the view. It's better to book in advance online because I couldn't find it in the same day. My overall experience was good. Oh! It's 60€ for water taxi which took us 1.5km further. I know it's crazy but it's Venice 🙂 and once in a lifetime experience 👍
  • Iconic bridge of Venice, only few bridges are there which runs over Grand canal and this is the most famous one out of all. This is quite popular because of it's architecture and majestic look. Spriderman scenes were shot in this very same bridge. It's very much crowded most of the time and hard to even take a pic as everyone occupies their own steps for picture ;).
  • The famous Venice scenic spot is also one of the shooting locations of "Spider-Man: Far From Home". From the bridge, you can enjoy the scenery of the busy water transportation, which is amazing at any time. In addition, due to the large number of people on the bridge, don't forget to pay attention to your valuables!
  • One of oldest bridges in Venice. Very crowded quickly in the morning and through out the day! You have to visit at both day time and night, the view will be very different! Lots restaurants, bar. Cafe near the bridge! Have a beer and watch people and time go by!
