Steinsporn Bridge, Prestressed concrete footbridge in Donaustadt, Austria
Steinsporn Bridge is a modern prestressed concrete structure that spans the Danube River, linking the eastern districts with the recreational Donauinsel area. It provides a direct route for pedestrians and cyclists across the waterway.
The structure was built in 1974 and gained international attention through its appearance in the 1987 James Bond film The Living Daylights. The film helped bring worldwide recognition to this Vienna bridge.
The bridge connects the Danube riverbank with Donauinsel, where locals and visitors walk, cycle, or gather along the water's edge. This location reflects modern Vienna's approach to bringing recreation and nature into the city.
The walkway is flat and easy to traverse, suitable for visitors of all ages and fitness levels. You can reach the bridge easily with nearby public transport, and cycling is a popular way to cross it.
The bridge featured prominently in an escape scene in the Bond film and has since become a site of interest for film enthusiasts. Many visitors use a trip here to explore the filming locations from that classic themselves.
