Jerusalem Chords Bridge

The Jerusalem Chords Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge designed by architect Santiago Calatrava. It serves as a transit point for the city's light rail system and includes a glass pedestrian walkway for those crossing on foot. Travelers visit the site to see the architectural structure and use the walkway for a view of the surrounding area.

Getting There

The bridge is located on the western side of the city. From the city center, it is accessible via the light rail system or by taxi. Depending on the starting point and traffic conditions, the journey typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.

Duration of Visit

Most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes at the site. This allows enough time to walk across the pedestrian path and observe the bridge's design from different angles.

When to Visit

The bridge is accessible at all times. Visiting during the early morning or late afternoon provides different lighting for the structure. Because it is a functional transit hub for the light rail, the area can become crowded during weekday commuting hours.

  • Unsdorf (1km)
