"Overlooking Venice from Ponte di Riva degli Schiavoni Riva degli Schiavoni is one of the most crowded areas in Venice—and understandably so. It's a picturesque waterfront in the central Castello district of the city, right along the Bacino di San Marco and the narrow bridge over the Rio di Palazzo della Paglia. Some might say that holding hands or kissing while crossing this bridge will bring good luck and a long-lasting relationship."
