Rialto

For a long time this was the only way to cross the Canal Grande. There was a bridge here at the end of the 12th Century, but the current one, designed by Antonio da Ponte, was built 1554-1591. There are now lots of shops on the bridge selling all kinds of souvenirs and curiosities. Fresh fruit, vegetable and fish markets line the streets in the bustling neighborhood. A second bridge was built in 1854, this bridge is still an important historical landmark and always a bright spot for tourists.

“Nice view, but avoid nearby tourist restaurants”
You will see the Rialto Bridge if you spend anytime in Venice, so 'recommending' it or not is somewhat a pointless exercise. I should say that ...
