Top Photography And Instagram Spots In And Around Venice

Venice is not less than a beautiful maze lined with historic architecture. Venice is one of the most beautiful cities for photography and photo walk and walking tours that I have come across. In fact, when I was there, I could not keep my camera off.

If you are planning anytime soon to pay a visit to Venice, here are some stunning photography spots in Venice. Keep moving forward to know the secret spots for Instagram-worthy photos.

Rialto Bridge 

A great bridge for a walking tour along with a beautiful sight of the sunset. Here, not only can you take amazing photos of the sunset but stunning the Great Grand Canal photos with historic architecture buildings on either side. You can visit it almost anytime. However, I would suggest going to the bridge at night for witnessing the horizon over well-lit buildings.

Piazza San Marco 

It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Venice. It is also known as Saint Mark’s Square as it is similar to a huge square with Campanile on one end and Saint Mark’s Basilica on the other end. Fortunately, if there is High Water, the square may become a bit flooded and you could get the chance to capture amazing photos with reflections. Reflections in Photos can enhance your picture composition.

Bridge of Sighs

For the best view of Bridge of Sighs, head over to Ponte Della Paglia that is just along Riva Degli Schiavoni. If you are on a Photo Walk, I recommend going there in the day time so that you can get a better shot.

Burano

Burano is one of my favourite places in Venice because of its vibrancy. Its actually 30-40 minutes away from Venice you can use public transport or you may take a taxi boat.

The place is photogenic. Hence, best for photography. It’s a key sport for photography. I recommend going there in the afternoon. The colours you would see at Burano are exceptional and do justice to the buildings.

Fondamenta Cannaregio 

If you are on a walking tour, there is no way you would miss the pedestrian bridges of Fondamenta Cannaregio. You can do photography from both the bridges that run over the canal. It costs absolutely nothing to go there. Moreover, you could go at any time you like. Just make sure to click amazing pictures!

Ponte De I’Academia

This bridge is the second most popular bridge after Rialto for Photography. It gives you great views of canals that follow towards Santa Maria Della Church. If you happen to visit it at night time, make sure to capture photos with long exposure so that you could get boats’ light trails.

Murano

Murano is just 5min from Venice. You can go there by waterbus, the place is famous for its glass art. At this tourist destination, you would find several nice spots for photography along with bridges and canals. It’s not the same as Venice so, the camera eye would witness something different!
