Otel.comFebruary 12, 2014There is a story saying that if a couple kisses under the Bridge of Sighs, while drifting below on a gondola at sunset, they will enjoy eternal love. You may want to try it!Upvoted Oct 10- Ollie MartinAugust 7, 2014The bridge name, given by Lord Byron in the 19th century, is fanciful as the days of summary executions were over by the time the bridge was built and the cells were for small-time criminals.

Amit GaharwarMay 27, 2017Great view, great legend. However taking a picture can be a hard task. Hoards of crowds scrambling to get a photo clicked :).
- DHR.comSeptember 29, 2011This must-see bridge passes over the Rio di Palazzo designed by the famous Antoni Contino. Called as such because it's the last view of Venice that convicts got to see before being imprisoned.
- Jackson TsaiSeptember 12, 2014The Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge name, comes from the suggestions that prisoners would sigh before taken down to their cell
FilmsquareNovember 1, 2013The bridge of sighs appears at the end of From Russia with Love (1963), although the two lead characters only appear with the bridge backprojected.
Zane ZēniņaNovember 21, 2016I like that I had the opportunity to get on the Bridge of sighs and in the prisons. Different view to Venice.
Chris HainesMarch 3, 2015Also known as the bridge of sighs in reference to the prisoners sighing on the boat when passing underneath the bridge, knowing they were near prison.
Visit VeneziaFebruary 15, 2012The advertisings are gone, now it's the best time to see Ponte dei Sospiri and use it as a wonderful background for your pictures!
- GelpmeFebruary 16, 2012Named because prisoners had sighed at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells.
budgetplaces.comSeptember 12, 2011Can't miss out on the opportunity to know more about the history of this famous bridge...
Pedro SantosSeptember 15, 2011Can't agree with the choice of putting publicity to cover the restoration works. Bad choice.
Claudio ProiettiDecember 3, 2014Il ponte è bellissimo e conoscerne la storia fa un po impressione, un consiglio se amate le fotografie, girando tra i vicoli potete trovare qualche punto dal quale rubare degli scatti particolari ;)
Michele CastroJuly 19, 2017Es una obligación entrar al palazzo ducale para verlo desde adentro! Impactante la vista
WarrenJune 22, 2015Durant la visite du Pallazo Ducale, il est possible de passer dans le pont des soupirs pour se rendre dans l'ancienne prison.
Ellen CarvalhoJune 8, 2013Ponte construída para ligar o palácio a prisão local. Seu nome deriva dos suspiros dos prisioneiros que eram levados a julgamento. Hoje dizem que é em razão dos suspiros dos casais apaixonados.
Nicoletta CossaMarch 29, 2015Che dire. Un simbolo da vedere e soprattutto da percorrere al suo interno durante la visita a palazzo ducale .
Müller ItaliaJune 20, 2013Gli ultimi sopsiri di coloro che stavano per essere condannati, o forse l'ultimo sguardo verso quel mondo libero. Leggende che vivono ancora oggi, fotografate da turisti di tutto il mondo.
Fábio AlvesJune 1, 2014Essa ponte é muito poética, foi construída para ser uma prisão e leva esse nome porque os prisioneiros suspiravam ao passar por dentro, lembrando da liberdade perdida.
Beyza Sultan'sJune 30, 2017Haritasız gezemezsiniz. Venedik içi konaklama pahalı, bu yüzden adanın dışında konaklamak daha mantıklı (trenle çok kolay gelebilirsiniz) Pazar günü çoğu yer kapalı. Tadını çıkarın harika bir yer.
Thiago LopesJuly 5, 2017O cenário da ponte é muito bonito; ela por dentro lembra bem seu objetivo: transportar presos para a prisão.
Era il ponte che collegava le sale dei tribunali nel Palazzo Ducale alle Prigioni Nuove, derivanti da un ampliamento del Palazzo e divise dal corpo principale da un piccolo canale. Read more
Denis EinloftOctober 2, 2014É possível tirar fotos internas, quando visitar o Palazzo Ducale , passe pelas prisões. Vais ter a vista das duas janelinhas.
Sıla CanSeptember 5, 2014Türkçesi ahlar vahlar köprüsü. Suçlular yargılandıktan sonra, hapisaneye direk bu köprüyü kullanarak geçermiş ve burda son kez venediği görüp işledikleri suç yüzünden iç çekip ah vah ederlermiş.
Olga 🌟🌞January 8, 2019К этому мосту притягивают легенды, ходящие о нём! Пройтись по нему можно при посещении дворца Дожей.
Buğra DurmuşJanuary 27, 2019İşkence veya son bakış köprüsü..Venedik’te iseniz görülmeli. Kolay bir yerde zaten...
