Audio Guide of the Eiffel Bridge

The Eiffel Bridge, or Pont de les Peixateries Velles, is a public bridge open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can cross it and enjoy the views over the Onyar River at any time — it's part of the city's magic!

Not at all! The Eiffel Bridge is a pedestrian bridge with free and open access. You can cross it and admire the architecture at no cost — it's an iconic postcard and a freely enjoyable spot in Girona.

Visiting the Eiffel Bridge itself doesn't take long, probably 10 to 15 minutes to cross it, take some photos, and admire the views of the famous colorful houses along the Onyar. However, I'd suggest including it in your route through the old town to enjoy it as part of a longer stroll.

This bridge was built by Gustave Eiffel's company — yes, the same man behind the Eiffel Tower in Paris — a few years earlier, in 1877! It is officially known as Pont de les Peixateries Velles, but its wrought-iron design earned it the nickname 'Eiffel' because of its origin. It was a pioneering project in the region.

For the best photos, I recommend visiting at sunset or sunrise, when the light is softer and the colorful houses are spectacularly illuminated. As for the time of year, spring and autumn are usually ideal thanks to the pleasant weather and fewer crowds compared to high summer. It is also less busy first thing in the morning.

Yes, the Eiffel Bridge is fully accessible. It is a flat, wide walkway with no steps or significant slopes, making it perfectly suitable for wheelchairs, strollers, and people with reduced mobility. You will be able to cross it without any problem.

You are in the heart of Girona. Right next door you will find the Jewish Quarter (El Call), the Girona Cathedral, and the City Walls. In addition, the colorful houses along the Onyar that you can see from the bridge are an attraction in themselves. Everything is just a stone's throw away!

I'd suggest bringing a good camera to capture the views of the Onyar houses. After crossing, take your time to wander the streets of the old town and get lost in its corners. Also, look out for the artistic graffiti that sometimes appears under the bridge — they're a local surprise! For more information, you can check Girona's tourism website: Girona Turisme.
