Peace Bridge

Peace Bridge, Calgary, Alberta, Calgary, Alberta

Calgary's iconic Peace Bridge straddles the Bow River between Prince's island park and 10th Street northwest. Connecting the trendy Eau Claire and Sunnyside neighbourhoods, the bridge is a popular attraction for tourists, weddings, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyday Calgarians. The Peace Bridge was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, and opened in 2012.

The Peace Bridge was ranked among the top 10 public spaces of 2012 by DesignBoom, a global architectural publication, alongside other innovative spaces in Spain, Singapore, Columbia and elsewhere across the globe. Despite initial controversy over the bridge's multi-million dollar price tag, it has become a popular pedestrian and cyclist connection for all.

    This is a remarkable bridge. There was a lot of controversy when it first opened but since then it is well used and a prize piece of architecture in Calgary

    The peace bridge is very nice to walk across at night when it is all lit up, as well as a great spot to get a nice view of the river during the day.
