The Rialto Bridge
The most popular place for visitors to view the Grand Canal is from the famous Rialto Bridge where images of the legendary city of Venice have been made and described for centuries. The bridge is divided into 3 parts.
You will take the southern walkway if you would like to enjoy the Grand Canal views, although it may sometimes take you some time to win your own spot from which to take photos and observe.
The northern walkway opens up to the canal bend which blocks the view of the Grand Canal so it’s not as popular as the southern one.
The central walkway is lined up with arcades and souvenir shops that block the view of the canal aswell. Actually, it looks like you’re just walking up or down one of the streets.
The best view of the bridge itself will be from one of the little areas of the pavement at its base. There is even a few touristy cafes/restaurants there
