The Peace Bridge is an iconic red pedestrian and cyclist bridge that crosses the Bow River in Calgary. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, its distinctive helix shape and vibrant color make it a standout landmark. The bridge connects the downtown core with the residential community of Sunnyside, providing a safe and scenic route for non-motorized traffic. Visitors often walk or bike across to enjoy river views and photograph the unique architecture, especially at sunset when the structure glows.
