    Incredibly beautiful and scenic views here. This is the famous bridge of Venice and the architecture of it is incredible. Does get very busy with people, and there are tourist shops along it.

    An architectural icons of Venice and one of the most visited tourist attractions of the city. You will never miss this bridge if you are crossing between San Marco and San Polo. Enjoy the view!

    The bridge is always packed with tourists and gives great views and pictures along the Grand Canal - Well worth the visit.

    One of the two most recognized landmarks of Venice. The bridge itself is choked with people :). Go either early or very late in the day. Best photos from Rialto ACTV station.

    One of the must-see sights in Venice. I recommend to take the water bus line 1 starting at Pizzale Roma and sit in the very front. You can take pictures like from a postcard.

    The most touristic bridge in the city. A must see touristic attraction. Great place to enjoy the city and the canals and people watching. One of the best places for picture taking.

    Very beautiful bridge but very crowded. A half of it was under reconstruction and huge ad of some clothes store, which spoiled the view. Best to visit in evening when shops located there are closed.

    The best view of the ponte rialto is not above it, since they are doing maintenance, but below it. It's magnificent to get a view of the bridge from the vaporetto

    A great place to visit any time of the year. If you're an early bird like me, I prefer walking by early in the morning. You get to see everyone preparing for their days work! Beautiful.

    Built in wood in 1255, its structure had two inclined ramps meeting at a movable central section. Close to Campo San Bartolomio and Calle della Bissa Read more

    Iconic Venetian bridge . Pretty much covered in people though...which is worth bearing in mind if you, like us, are travelling with a buggy...

    For about three hundred years, this bridge was the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot. It was replaced various wooden bridges occupying the same location since the 12th century.

    Always overcrowded, quite similar to Ponte Vecchio in Florence (gold and jewelry retailers), one of the main landmarks of Venice.

    You can buy souvenirs, ride on gondola and enjoy the food in this area! Ask the local to get more info (:

    Extremely busy and touristy place --- in the small streets around, on both sides of the canal, you'd find bars and places to hang out

    The Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto) is another truly memorable sight. It’s an arched bridge, lined with shops, and has been exactly as it is now for about 400 years.

    The crowded side is crowded for a reason: much better views from that side. Make sure you bring your selfie stick otherwise you might have to actually talk to a stranger.

    Best to see this bridge from below, on a boat off peak hours because you then will get to see the bridge not 100+ tourists!

    If you stay in the Island, wake up a bit earlier and go there before breakfast. There is less visitors and can see habitants preparing for daytime
