Timeline
16:54
Start with a coffee at Sabine. It opens at 16:00, so you can grab a drink and settle in just as the day begins to wind down.
17:24
Walk over to Puente Fierro. This Eiffel-designed iron bridge is a technological jewel. Arrive before the light peaks to find a good spot on the pedestrian walkway.
17:54
Wait for the golden hour. The low sun hits the volcanoes and the city in a warm glow. This is the best time for photos from the bridge.
18:39
End the walk with a meal at Sambambaias. It is a grill restaurant nearby that stays open until 22:30, giving you plenty of time to enjoy a hearty dinner after the light fades.
Local tip
The bridge is a pedestrian and bicycle path. Enjoy the view of the valley and the historic structure without the noise of traffic.
