Find the Ponte del Diavolo on Torcello, a railing-free stone bridge that shows how Venetian bridges once looked. Cross it, photograph the little shrine at one end and enjoy the lack of crowds.

Ponte del Diavolo is a modest bridge on Torcello, notable because it keeps the old construction style without parapets, a feature reviewers say survives on only two bridges in the Venetian lagoon. A small shrine stands at one end.
