Itinerary
Constructed between 1588 and 1591, the Rialto Bridge was designed by architect Antonio da Ponte to replace its predecessor, a wooden bridge that had collapsed twice and was also destroyed by fire. The bridge's structure resembles its predecessors, with two inclined ramps connected by a central portico. Visiting the Rialto Bridge is worthwhile at any time. Crossing it at different times of the day allows you to capture a photo amidst the various tourists doing the same. Rialto Market Crossing the Rialto Bridge from St. Mark's Square, you arrive at the Rialto Market, a vividly colorful place dominated by fruits and vegetables. If you visit in the summer, you'll find it hard to resist the trays of fresh fruit offered. The Rialto Market opens every day from 9 AM to 12 PM at the Fish Market Square and the surrounding streets.
The Rialto Market is a must-see for anyone who wants to learn a little about the history of Venice's customs and gastronomy. The space is one of the strongest representations of the city's commercial vocation and how fundamental this was to the formation and strengthening of the Republic.

About Venice
Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.
The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.
Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
