"Constitution Bridge, as it’s called in English, stretches across the Grand Canal and is almost twice as long as the famous Rialto Bridge. The Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava was tasked with the design—it resembles a whale’s backbone and is made with steel, bronze, glass, and concrete."

We arrived at the bus terminal, and the first thing we saw of Venice’s old town was from this bridge – and it was just: wow. The view from here gives you a fantastic first impression of the city. You get a great overview of the canals, the buildings, and the atmosphere that makes Venice so unique. It really sets the tone for what’s to come. In our opinion, it’s one of the top bridges in the city – and surprisingly, it’s not overcrowded, so it’s also a great spot to take your first photos without being pushed around by the crowd. Highly recommended as your first stop when entering Venice!

📍 Constitution Bridge – Venice, Italy 🇮🇹 The newest bridge 🌉 over the Grand Canal, designed by Santiago Calatrava. Its modern glass-and-steel design contrasts with Venice’s historic architecture 🏛️ and links Piazzale Roma 🚍 with Santa Lucia train station 🚆. In the evening, the sunset views from the bridge are truly awesome 🌅✨, with the canal glowing in golden light. It can be slippery in rain 🌧️ and tricky with luggage 🧳, but as a vantage point, it’s one of the best modern spots to enjoy Venice’s beauty. 🙌

Venice is an absolutely gorgeous city. The architecture, colours, vibrancy, the restaurants and bars. It is a tourist mecca and I can see why the city fathers have a tourist tax, but what a feast for the eyes. St. Marks Square and Basilica is aweinspiring. Only took a short tour around, but WHAT A PLACE. Photos don't do it justice.

"Nice modern contrast to the rest of Venice. The design is sleek and the views from the top are great, especially at sunset. That said, the glass steps can be slippery, so watch your step—especially with luggage. It's not everyone's favorite because it feels out of place in such a historic city, but I actually liked the bold mix of old and new

One of Venice's most beautiful bridges. A must see and walk. At the foot of the bridge (left on the photo) a fantastic and very romantic restaurant. An absolute visit 🏆

Constitutional Bridge (aka Calatrava) is a cool modern vibe in the middle of old Venice. Sleek white design that pops, and the Grand Canal views are solid. Yeah, the steps are a bit of a climb, but hey, free leg workout with a nice view at the top! Worth a quick stop for some different city pics. Four stars – stylish and great views!

Really, really nice bridge. Spanish from the car district over the grand canal to the main part of Venice. Great view, large bridge so it's not too crowded.

Fast-paced, lots of people pushing and shoving on the public transport. Gondolas worth the wait and a great memory .

Calatrava bridge or Constitution Bridge is one of the 4 bridges that crosses Grand Canal and it connects bus and train stations. It surprised me, being like no other bridges in Venice. It is made out of tempered glass and Istrian stone, and it's curve symbolizes embrace of modernity. This bridge like non others is illuminated at night. It's quite a sight.

The Ponte della Costituzione or Constitution Bridge is the newest bridge over the Grand Canal. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava, and was moved into place in 2007. It connects the Stazione di Santa Lucia to Piazzale Roma. The bridge was known as Quarto Ponte sul Canal Grande before the official name was adopted to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Italian constitution in 2008. Most tourists use the bridge coming off the train into Venice & going to the Roma water taxi station.
