Rialto Bridge - Venice, Italy

The iconic, must visit spot in Venice, Rialto Bridge. Whether you're in for people watching or simply enjoying the beautiful view of Grand Canal, you just can't afford to miss this place. Unfortunately during my visit there was a political demonstration by some youngsters happening right here, so I couldn't take a front view shot of the bridge. This picture is the best I can do considering the circumstances.
