Bridge of the Academy

This wooden bridge belongs to the four Venetian bridges to span the Grand Canal, offering what is supposedly the greatest view in the city, looking along the canal. Be sure to take your camera with you because the pictures taken from the bridge are amazing.

One of the best ways to admire the bridge is from one of the ever-present gondolas during a gondola ride. Those are very popular in Venice and will take you along many bridges. Also, it is a way how to avoid the crowds of people and souvenir sellers who often stand on the bridge.
