The Chiodo Bridge is one of the few remaining bridges in Venice without parapets and railings. It is located in the Cannaregio district, near the Church of San Felice. This bridge, dating back to the Middle Ages, is a fascinating example of the city's authenticity and history. Its name derives from the iron "nails" used for its construction. Although it is less well known than other Venetian bridges, the Ponte Chiodo is an evocative place that offers a unique perspective on the romantic and timeless atmosphere of Venice.

This is one of the most unique bridges in the city, all the others now have sides.
This 16th small bridge is in the district of Cannaregio,

Centuries ago, a ll bridges used to be like this, but after drinking local venetians used to fall into the canals, so they all now have sides

The bridge only goes to a rather well known B&B called "3749 Ponte Chiodo" and spans the Rio San Felice canal.
.
The Nail Bridge i comes from the surname of the noble family which owned the bridge centuries ago.

This rather unusual bridge spans over the small "Rio San Felice" Canal

This is a great little place if you want a quaint homely accomodation. It's tucked away in a quiet area of Venice away from the hustle of the centre. Lovely staff and services. We got really good advice on what do do from Mattia. Very happy with our stay at this little gem.

We tracked this down because I like to find offbeat things. There are 418 bridges in Venice; this is the only one left with no rails. Way back when, young men would fight each other with sticks and fists, trying to make each other fall into the canals. Finally the doges required rails! Good place to take pictures.

In Cannaregio you can find a small bridge with no parapet (side walll or rail), known locally as Ponte di Chiodo. Under normal circumstances, this little bridge in the middle of the quiet neighbourhood in Venice would be of absolutely no interest whatsoever. However, Ponte di Chiodo is one of only two remaining Venetian bridges with no parapet thus thus it holds a bit of interest, if you care to see what many of Venice's bridges might have looked like in years (centuries) past.

Overall, this is just a minor but fun attraction in Venice. If you don't have much time in the city, we wouldn't bother trying to find the Bridge with No Parapet. However, it is worth seeking out if you like Venetian bridges and/or have time to see something different.

If you do visit, make sure you go ahead and stand on the bridge for a minute or two. You’d be surprised how apprehensive you might become for a upon stepping on it, wondering if there is something wrong or if it will hold you. Don't worry, it will!

Nice little bridge with no rails leading nowhere.

The location in Tripadvisor is incorrect, see Google Maps for correct location.

One of the fun things in Venice is wandering around and stumbling upon small delights such as this bridge without rails. It's a private bridge but everyone climbs on it just to have their photo taken. I climbed one hundred bridges in a single day and it was one of the highlights!

Here's a map where it's marked on, just click on the little bridge in the bottom right corner... Also has a bit of history on it if you use Google translate.

Interesting experience to walk on a bridge without handrails! Located in a quiet area of Venice, in Cannaregio, it is easily accessible even if it is a private bridge.

Interesting spot for pictures - a classic bridge that has no sides to it which makes for some cool pictures.

It is Worth seeing the “bridge of sighs” at night and during the day. when you go to the doges palace you can see what the prisoners saw as their last view of Venice, hence the name “bridge of sighs” as coined by Byron.
