11,845 Reviews
The Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto) was the first to span Venice’s Grand Canal (Canal Grande) between its two highest points above sea level. The original 12th-century wooden bridge was replaced in 1592 by a stone structure resting on wooden pilings—a bold design by Antonio da Ponte featuring a single central arch over the water that allow ships to pass. Today, the bridge is among Italy’s most famous, carrying an endless stream of tourists and locals across the canal while countless gondolas and vaporetto water buses pass beneath.

Once-in-a-lifetime virtual tour in Venice alone RoamFromHome
11
Due to the international health crisis Overtourism has disappeared in Venice. I want to seize this opportunity to offer all travellers who are unable to see Venice in person a once-in-a-lifetime experience. As a journalist, I shot this short video reportage in a unique time for Venice.
Through the video I will show you Venice's most celebrated places.For the very first time you can enjoy these place on your own with no one else besides you. I will let you hear the fascinating and yet uneasy stillness enwrapping Venice and its canals night and day at this particular time.
Those of you who have already been to Venice will be filled with awe while virtually seeing these places in a totally different light.
Those who have never been to Venice will definitely feel the need to see it in person in a short time.
How does it work? Check the calendar, book it and you'll receive a link to enjoy the experience when you prefer (doesn’t matter date and time that you choose on the calendar).
