Peace Bridge

A red spiral pedestrian bridge over the Bow River, designed by Santiago Calatrava. It is the city's most photogenic modern landmark.

Peace Bridge opened in 2012. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, its red tubular lattice structure is divided into a footpath and a bike lane, and it glows brilliantly after dark. The bridge connects downtown with the Sunnyside community on the north bank, close to Prince's Island Park, and you can stop for coffee in Kensington on the way. Free and open all day.
