The view from the Rialto Bridge is one of the most famous and photographed in Venice. From the highest part of the bridge, you get a spectacular panoramic view of the Grand Canal, with its elegant historic palaces reflected in the water, the constant traffic of gondolas, vaporettos, and traditional boats.

The name of the bridge refers to the Rialto area in San Polo, which was the most important trading center of the city for a millennium. Rialto is derived from the Italian Rivo alto, meaning 'high bank'. The Rialto area is located in Venice at the highest point above the mean high water.
