Stay for the final moments of sunset. The golden light will linger on the bridge structure and the river surface.

Local tip
The bridge can get crowded during sunset. Arrive early to secure a good spot on the railing or a table with a view.
Check before you go
- The Veranda Bridge Restaurant is located on the bridge itself. Check if you need to reserve a table in advance, especially for sunset times.
