Guide to the Bridges of Venice

Venice is not just one island -- it's comprised of over 100 separate islands, and all of them are joined together by bridges.  Lots of bridges.  As you stroll through the streets of Venice, you will come to bridge after bridge.  Most of them have six or eight steps on each side, with a flat top that is ideal for pausing and taking photographs.  They're just high enough for boats and gondolas to pass under them, although at high tide the gondoliers may have to stoop a bit to fit under the bridges (see first picture below).
