Peace Bridge

The Peace Bridge is one of Calgary’s most recognizable architectural landmarks. Designed by world-renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, this striking red pedestrian and cycling bridge spans the Bow River, connecting Eau Claire to the Sunnyside community.

Opened in 2012, the bridge features a unique tubular helix design constructed from steel and glass, making it a favourite destination for photographers, joggers, cyclists, and visitors seeking a scenic riverfront experience.

With its dramatic presence and uninterrupted views of the Bow River and downtown skyline, the Peace Bridge has become a symbol of modern Calgary and one of the most visited outdoor attractions in the city.
