Accademia Bridge is one of the four bridges along the Grand Canal. It connects San Marco and Dorsoduro. It's not the prettiest bridge, but it's an important one that brings folks across the Grand Canal. From San Marco, you walk and curve through the streets, following signs that say "Accademia" which is an adventure in itself. The view is magificent and you can peek towards either ends of the Grand Canal.
