The bridge provides a really unique experience to stroll high above the Ohio river and see barges and pleasure boats cruising below. All with a view of the Cincinnati skyline. I'd recommend it to anyone.

This must be on your 'things to do list' while in the area. Obviously seeing the Reds play is on that list too. Even though you can walk across other bridges, PPB is as tranquel as you can get above and between 2 vibrant cities.

What a cool bridge! Lots of people running, biking, walking across the bridge across the Ohio river - great way to promote an active lifestyle - connect Newport on the Levee with the stadiums. Great idea. Only negative was the overflowing garbage cans.

Our kids (4, ages 12 and under) weren't too thrilled hearing we were going to the Purple People Bridge. However, when we got there and they actually realized we would be walking across the Ohio River from... More

Felt safe to walk across even at night, well lit and plenty wide, it was a tad breezy but that is expected.
