CROSS IT OFF

With the weather perking up, you’ll find no better Insta spot this June than on Gdański Bridge…

It’s a brave call to make, but there can be no bridge in Warsaw that’s more Instagrammed than Gdański. The attractions are threefold: firstly, you’ve got an epic neon positioned over the inky black waters. Then, a mindboggling stairwell that spirals endlessly towards the sky. Mostly though, it is the bridge itself that draws influencers and insta addicts.

Stunning to cross, the lower-level features tram tracks embedded into weathered wooden boards. Scissored in shadows cast from criss-crossing steel support pillars, the pedestrian walkways running each side promise a walk to remember –even more so come dusk when the Wisła basks in the dusky half-light of summer. It’s a sight befitting of a bridge steeped in history – opened in 1946, this became the first permanent bridge to be built following the war.
