From Gothic-era stone crossings to smooth contemporary spans, here are a dozen bridges through Poland that every traveler should see.

Historic Legends and Grand Designs
Often called Prague’s Charles Bridge, this Gothic building in southern Poland is decorated with Baroque statues and is 53 meters long. “The bridge of eggs,” so named because legend has it that locals donated eggs for the mortar used to build it.

Tczew Railway Bridges
Just beyond Tczew, there are a couple of impressive railway bridges – one with a steel frame, and the other done out with Neo-Gothic towers. The 837-meter-long crossing, which was Europe’s longest when it was finished in 1857, is crumbling and is being rebuilt.

Stańczyki Viaducts, Suwałki Region
Modeled on Roman architecture, these paired arched viaducts are a feature of the SuwaÅ‚ki scenery. Once part of a supply route to Hitler’s Wolf’s Lair, today they are a premier destination for bungee jumping.

Modern Footpaths and Revitalized Districts
This curving bridge between the Kazimierz and Podgórze districts opened in 2010. Lit up at night and crowded with balancing figures, its contribution to the regeneration of the area has been considerable, despite early protests about the cost

Jordan Bridge, Poznań
This red-trimmed crossing is made from half of the old St. Roch Bridge and connects Cathedral Island with the lively Åšródka neighborhood. A site for lovers — and covered with lovelocks — it offers views of the historic surroundings.

Footbridge, Warsaw
Despite controversy about its cost and a lack of bike lanes, this footbridge has been well-received since it opened in 2023. It offers great views of the Warsaw skyline and is indicative of the city’s efforts to have more areas that are pedestrian-friendly.

Architectural Delights and Romantic Corners
The two-level building, which was erected in 1959, is a popular spot for photographers. With its winding staircase and inviting neon “Nice to See You” it combines industrial charm with urban creativity.

Mały Błędnik, Gdańsk
Featuring a minute peer of shooting, the tiny iron one-gun pew, constructed in 1900 and recently repainted in a gunmetal gray, is a delightfully decorated relic that is easily missed amongst the larger, more famous bridges of Gdańsk.

Koronowo Narrow-Gauge Railway Bridge
This 18-metre-high bridge is Europe’s tallest narrow-gauge steel-framed railway bridge and was built in 1895. Trains no longer run, but the viaduct still caters to pedestrians and cyclists.

Bolesławiec Viaduct
One of the longest stone viaducts in Europe, this 1846 railway bridge is made up of 35 towering arches over 490 meters. It's designed by Fryderyk Engelhardt Ganse and it's still one of southwestern Poland's standouts.

Tumski Bridge, Wrocław
Painted green and steeped in history, Tumski Bridge is famous for its cobblestone path and romantic atmosphere. It was built in 1899 and takes you to Cathedral Island, which is one of the most charming places in the city.

Groszowy Bridge, Opole
Completely designed by hand and completed in 1894, this delightful bridge once cost pedestrians a single groszy to cross. Stretching over a peaceful MÅ‚ynówka Canal, it is affectionately referred to as “the road to marriage.”

From medieval viaducts to intimate footbridges, Poland’s bridges are so much more than simple connections of land — they’re connections to the past, present, and future in some of the most stunning ways possible.
