Bridge over the Grand Canal in the Rialto quarter. All pleasure boats sail past him, so that tourists can take photographs as a keepsake. A ferry in this place has existed since the 12th century. At first it was a floating bridge, then wooden, in the XVI century. he became stone. The design collapsed several times with enviable regularity. The construction of 1591 has survived to our days, which turned out to be stronger than its predecessors.

Sestiere San Polo, Venezia

Busy but manageable. There are a few secret alleys you can get great vantage points for photos. Good to see it in both afternoon and morning sun and arguably even better by night. Avoid the restaurants directly near it as tourist traps.
