Time, cost and access

There is no fixed visit duration and no published admission tariff for crossing. Any cost you see relates to separate services such as the cable car or boat trips. Access conditions on each approach should be checked on the day.

This is an independent guide. It does not set prices or hours and cannot confirm them for a specific date.

Night visits

The bridge is known for its lighting, associated with the French designer Philippe Martinaud. Lighting times and any programmes change, and public sources describe them inconsistently, so do not treat them as fixed.

Check the lighting for the day rather than a fixed schedule.
Plan a clear return route after dark.
