Gdański Bridge

The Gdański Bridge is a steel structure with two levels that spans 406 meters across the Vistula River. The upper deck carries four lanes for vehicles, while the lower level holds tram tracks, pedestrian paths, and a bicycle lane.

Construction took place between 1957 and 1959, and the new structure reused the foundations from an older bridge that had been destroyed during wartime. This reconstruction was part of the city's rebuilding efforts after 1945.

The bridge connects two important districts and enables daily movement between the city center and eastern residential areas. For locals, it is an essential part of their everyday routes through the city.

The bridge is open daily to cars, trams, pedestrians, and cyclists and serves as a major crossing over the river. Visitors can best enjoy the views by using the pedestrian or bicycle paths rather than walking along the traffic lanes.

A neon sign reading 'Nice to see you' was installed on the lower level in 2014 and has become a distinctive landmark for many. The English phrase makes the bridge a special photo spot for travelers from around the world.
