Rialto Bridge Tours and Vacation Packages

Overview

Take a Trip to Rialto Bridge on your Italy Vacation

Rialto Bridge is Venice's oldest bridge. It was built in stone between 1588 and 1591 as a sturdier replacement to a wooden bridge that had a history of collapsing and had also been partially burned down. Every year, millions of tourists cross the 157 ft (48 m) long Rialto Bridge. Virtually every walking Tour of Venice will bring you to the steps of the Rialto, around which lie prominent city landmarks such as Doge's Palace, Bridge of Sighs, and St. Mark's Basilica. You can also view the bridge on a gondola ride or a boat tour that takes you to all the landmarks near the Grand Canal.

An evening boat tour is more popular due to a myth that couples who kiss under the floating city's bridges during sunset will have eternal love. The bridge's central passage heaves with tourists buying souvenirs, jewelry, and Murano glassware. You can cross over the bridge from Piazza San Marco to Rialto Market that sells fresh fruit, vegetables, and fish. The bridge is less crowded in the mornings. It may be more romantic to visit the bridge at dusk when it's lit up.

Italy is full of hidden culinary gems, but one place that really stands out is Trattoria di Via Serra in Bologna. It’s beloved by locals for its authentic Emilian dishes like handmade tortellini in brodo and rich tagliatelle al ragù

One unforgettable tradition travelers should try to experience is a sagra—a local food festival that celebrates a specific dish, ingredient, or harvest. These are often held in small towns, especially in the summer and fall, and they offer an amazing window into real Italian life

Italy is not just Rome, Venice, Florence and Amalfi Coast... Every region or small town has its own history, art, traditions, culture, peculiarity

Most tourists don’t realize just how deeply regional Italy is. Not just in terms of food, but also in language, traditions, and identity. Italian culture is really a patchwork of local cultures

Harpreet Litt provided us with a rich experience for our week. She offered good choices for local tour companies. We had a very good guide in Osaka. She is an Osaka resident with good English skills.

I have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla Covello

I have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
