Rialto Bridge

AttractionVeniceAbout 20 minutes

The oldest bridge over the Grand Canal, and the busiest place in Venice at midday. The view along the canal from the top is the reason to push through. The market on the far side, in the morning, is the better half of the visit — fish, vegetables and locals actually shopping.
