Constitution Bridge

Modern bridge over the grand canal. Glassy design. Connects to the bus station with the railway station. The only issue is there are too many stairs. It is challenging to carry heavy luggage.

The Constitution Bridge (Ponte della Costituzione) in Venice is a striking modern architectural marvel that beautifully contrasts with the city's historic charm. Designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, the bridge features a sleek glass and steel design that is visually stunning. Its gentle curve and transparent elements provide breathtaking views of the Grand Canal, making it a fantastic spot for photos. While it stands as a functional passageway connecting the Santa Lucia train station to the bustling city, the bridge also offers a unique experience of Venice’s blend of old and new. However, be prepared for some slippery surfaces and often crowded pathways. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone exploring Venice!

Love the city very much. Fruits, beer, cheese and ham, Small ornaments are all much cheaper than other cities.

One of the many bridges in Venice that has great views of the canals. It was very busy when I visited and very hot, but still it was a good place to watch the world go by and relax for a bit.

Nice way to enter Venice from the park and ride from Tronchetto using the People Mover a rail. It’s a great contract between old and new and it’s a good looking bridge !

It's just beautiful. The beauty is all around us, look around.

Perfect example of what’s wrong with contemporary architecture (and art in general). A bridge planned, approved and built without having the users in mind but mainly one’s ego and wallet. A bridge made of glass. That’s it. You can see the cracked glasses in my pics. What if it breaks? There’s no protection beneath. The fact that it’s in Venice… it adds insult to the injury. You get it: a bit of humidity, some rain and how are you not supposed to slip and fell?? It cost a fortune to built and to maintain. and recently they had to add a layer of some kind of rock material to made it possible for people to walk safely. If possible avoid this bridge

This is the right spot for one of the lifetime photo oportunidad just very beautiful

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.
