Ponte di Rialto
venice, Italy
The Ponte di Rialto, completed in 1591, is Venice's oldest stone bridge, gracefully arching over the Grand Canal. Its Istrian stone construction is lined with shops peddling Murano glass and leather goods, giving a taste of Venetian commerce. Visit at dawn for a serene view of the canal before the day-trippers arrive.
