More than 400 ancient bridges criss-cross the canals of the iconic city of Venice in Italy, one of the world's most popular travel destinations. Venice, Bridge by Bridge brings to life these iconic features of the Venetian cityscape through a collection of colourful, entertaining bridge stories that cover several hundred years of history. Author Charl Durand challenged himself to visit and photograph more than 100 of the bridges in one day, collecting fascinating facts, legends and cultural details along the way. This is an essential guide for everyone planning a visit to Venice, as well as those interested in the cultural and architectural tapestry of La Serenissima - the serene city of Venice. New in the 2021 edition: ** Includes a link to a live, online map of Venice indicating position of all the bridges ** Suggested short walk itineraries to see the most interesting bridges across Venice. ** Adds an additional 14 bridges on the island of Chioggia, also known as "Little Venice", a hidden gem at the southern tip of the Venice Lagoon.
