There is a story saying that if a couple kisses under the Bridge of Sighs, while drifting below on a gondola at sunset, they will enjoy eternal love. You may want to try it!

The bridge name, given by Lord Byron in the 19th century, is fanciful as the days of summary executions were over by the time the bridge was built and the cells were for small-time criminals.

Venice's Bridge of Sighs. The legend says that if you kiss your lover on a gondola at sunset under the bridge then you’ll be assured eternal love.

Great view, great legend. However taking a picture can be a hard task. Hoards of crowds scrambling to get a photo clicked :).

This must-see bridge passes over the Rio di Palazzo designed by the famous Antoni Contino. Called as such because it's the last view of Venice that convicts got to see before being imprisoned.

I like that I had the opportunity to get on the Bridge of sighs and in the prisons. Different view to Venice.

If you get right light and the gondola in time, your shot is just perfect.

The Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge name, comes from the suggestions that prisoners would sigh before taken down to their cell

The bridge of sighs appears at the end of From Russia with Love (1963), although the two lead characters only appear with the bridge backprojected.

The advertisings are gone, now it's the best time to see Ponte dei Sospiri and use it as a wonderful background for your pictures!

Nice bridge. A bit different of the others.

Also known as the bridge of sighs in reference to the prisoners sighing on the boat when passing underneath the bridge, knowing they were near prison.

A lovely bridge 😇

The cliché of clichés. Must pay a visit!

Named because prisoners had sighed at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells.

Amazing to see this bridge

If you want to walk through it leave plenty of time for the Doge Palace too

Can't miss out on the opportunity to know more about the history of this famous bridge...

Tip by Clement H. on Thursday the 10 of November, 2016 at 8:21 am
I don't think it's worth the fame
