The Adolphe Bridge crosses the Pétrusse valley in the middle of Luxembourg City on a double stone arch of about eighty-five metres, opened in 1903 and at the time among the largest stone arches built. It carries the road between the old town and the Gare quarter, and during a renovation completed in the 2010s a suspended walkway for pedestrians and cyclists was hung beneath the deck, which gives an unusual view of the arch from below.
What you actually see
- The stone arch - a double span of about eighty-five metres, large for its date.
- The suspended walkway - the foot and cycle path slung beneath the deck.
- The Petrusse valley - the park and gorge the bridge crosses.
- The city view - the old town and the Gare quarter from the bridge.
When to go
Year round; the bridge and walkway are always open. Evening lighting shows the arch well. The valley park below is best in spring and summer.
Honest expectations
It is a working road bridge and traffic on it is constant. The best views of the arch are from the valley below, which means walking down. There is no interpretation.
Nearby
Notre-Dame Cathedral is east, and the Petrusse valley runs below.
