Bridges

Venice has more than 400 bridges: they are passageways, not viewing platforms.

1. 1

   Photos yes, but not in the middle

   For a photo, stand at the sides of the bridge – never in the middle or on the steps where people pass.

2. 2

   Carry your suitcase on the steps

   Don't drag your trolley up and down the steps: lift it. It damages the stone and is noisy for residents.

3. 3

   If you stop, take off your rucksack

   Fancy taking some photos because it looks like a good spot? Make sure you don’t block the flow of people, and if you’re carrying a rucksack, take it off.
