Traveler reviews
Ryan Chapman
★★★★★4 years agoIt is a nice bridge, I thought it was a blue bridge. I would recommend riding the bus across it as opposed to walking across however. You walk under the bridge too. It looks really pretty but I was doing something else that day so I didn't go but there were people down there.
Alejandro Villavicencio
★★★★★Edited 3 years agoGreat walk across de Elbe. When you do it for sunset it is a great view.
