Ponte dei Sospiri, Venice

It looks very nice (preferably from outside), it is surely one of the symbols of Venice, present on dozens of postcards, photos and calendars. Slightly hidden behind the building, it can be visited during sightseeing of the Doge's Palace, and can be viewed - the best way - from the marina. Lots of tourists try to capture him (and of course himself) in the pictures taken from the side of lagoon.

Crossing this bridge is part of a visit to the Doge's palace. The bridge is a fully enclosed dark passageway with just two small windows on each side, through which prisoners would supposedly take a last look at Venice and freedom and, well, sigh. The inside is like a subway tunnel but it is an experience and it is part of an interesting museum. However, if history, period weaponry/armour and other artifacts, stunningly ornated rooms, a stunning courtyard and a dank prison are not your thing then just appreciate it from the outside.

Great views of Venice. Do not miss this. Follow the signs to the prisons in Doge's Palace and for the external view go outside and around the palace to the waterfront where you will find a bridge.

Very interesting bridge, specially the name origin which is not exactly romantic as many think. The bridge to take pictures from is usually crowded but if you go to the sides underneath you will have a space that's less known and will be able to capture that bridge from a different angle (and way less crowded!). Not much to see or photograph so expect to stay at this location between 5 to 10 minutes unless you want to take several pics from different angles

Went through The Bridge Of Sighs while on the Doge's Palace trip. It was fascinating to walk through & see the last view that the prisoners would have seen of beautiful Venice. The Bridge can be seen from one of the bridges on Venice front & provides a good photo opportunity. You can also get a good view of the Bridge from a Gondola as you ride towards it & then right underneath.
