@msrachelteodoro: I recently visited Venice, Italy for the first time. I like watching a city wake up, so I enjoy being up early to explore before the crowds. I couldn’t believe how crowded the famous Rialto Bridge got as the day went on. If you want to experience some solitude at this iconic landmark, visit early. Some will say to go at dawn, I found that getting there at 7:15 still left me by myself. Around 7:45 the morning commuters started and the locals headed to work and school started making the bridge traffic pick up. By 9, the bridge was covered with people all trying to find a small spot for the perfect selfie. If you like solitude like I do, wake up a bit early and explore. You will thank me later! #venice #rialtobridge #rialtobridgevenice #venicegrandcanal #italytraveltips
