Ponte della Paglia is a stone bridge next to the Doge's Palace that connects St. Mark's and Castello districts in Venice. This bridge is always crowded during the day with people trying to view the famous Bridge of Sighs located just behind it.
Get up early in the morning, however, and you will Ponte della Paglia all to yourself. Once you stand on the bridge, you will be faced with scenic views everywhere you look. Looking west, Piazzetta San Marco features the Columns of San Marco and San Teodoro. Riva degli Schiavoni lies to the east. You will also be able to admire the Bridge of Sighs and San Giorgio Maggiore across the lagoon.
