About this webcam

This 4K webcam, filmed from Palazzo Bembo on the Grand Canal, looks at the Rialto Bridge, the oldest and most famous of the bridges over the Grand Canal in Venice. The stone bridge was completed in 1591 to a design by Antonio da Ponte, replacing the wooden bridges that had stood at the same spot before. Its single arch is high enough for boats to pass under, and two rows of small shops line the steps over the top.

The Rialto has been Venice's trading center for centuries, and the city's food market is still right next to the bridge. On the cam, you can watch gondolas, vaporetti, water taxis and cargo boats share one of the busiest stretches of the canal. The palaces on the water's edge make it one of the most photographed views in Italy.

Best time to watch: Early morning is the quietest time and shows Venice at work, with delivery boats on the canal. In the evening, the bridge and the palaces are lit and the light reflects on the water.
