Ponte di Rialto

The Rialto Bridge is the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Connecting the sestieri (districts) of San Marco and San Polo, it has been rebuilt several times since its first construction as a pontoon bridge in 1173, and is now a significant tourist attraction in the city

Piazza San Marco

Piazza San Marco represents the very heart of Venice, where to be amazed by different historical architectonical monuments like the Basilica, named after San Marco as well, or the Renaissance buildings along the long sides of the square. But there is something more: did you know that walking in Piazza San Marco actually means to be walking the only square of Venice? The square is always beautiful, also when it is flooded by the water of the lagoon: an unusual and impressive experience for locals and tourists.

Doge's Palace

Located in Saint Mark's Square, right next to the famous Basilica is the Dukes Palace. First inhabited in 1340 by the most powerful of the the Venetian Republic (A republic that staggeringly ran from 697AD to 1797AD) only became a visitable museum in 1923. A highlight of the building is the "Bridge of Sighs" a walkway between buildings that led to the Prison of the Venetian Republic and notable of Casanova.
