What people say

Carol Randolph
" Ponte degli Scalzi, translating to the "Bridge of the Barefoot Monks," is a picturesque bridge in Venice, Italy, spanning the Grand Canal. Built in the 20th century to provide a direct connection between the train station and the religious complex of the Scalzi Church, this elegant stone bridge boasts a classic Venetian design with delicate balustrades. Offering stunning views of the canal and surrounding architecture, Ponte degli Scalzi is not only a practical crossing but also a charming spot to soak in the timeless beauty of Venice's waterways."
Lana Nguyen
" Close to the train station in Venice is a wide bridge located which connects both banks of the Canal Grande. The bridge also offers a nice perspective to the church Chiesa di Santa Maria di Nazareth behind it. Scalzi is not as famous as the Rialto Bridge so it’s way easier to have a lucky moment without other people in your photo."
Lyndsay Crescenti
"The Scalzi Bridge sits right in front of the Stazione di Santa Lucia, Venice's train station. Since this bridge is typically the first location someone goes to when arriving in Venice, it's a special picture since it'll be your first view of this magnificent metropolitan city. "
