I enjoyed the sweeping curves that reflect the course of the river, the curve of the surrounding hillsides and the class of the Guggenheim. I can also understand why the architect was so miffed about a later addition of a link bridge over to the adjacen office blocks.

From a distance this is a fine piece of architecture, unfortunately the council have ruined the look by gluing a black rubber matt over the glass the whole way across the bridge.

Slightly spoiled by the addition of mats to the deck but this was unavoidable as the original glass was not safe when wet. Well worth walking across, especially in the evening.

Interesting footbridge. Accessible at one end by a lift, with a ramp at the other. You will see the slender steel shafts vibrate in rhythm or harmony to walkers on the bridge. A little disconcerting but not very intrusive. It makes a better alternative for getting from the Guggenheim to the Artxander Funicular as you can walk up 'Calle Mugica... More

A nice compliment to the nearby Guggenheim. It's another feature of Bilbao that adds to its dynamism.

Start on one side of the bridge you will have different views and experiences. It is worth to spend time on and off the bridge. It can be quite romantic, amidst the summer rain and mist.
