The San Juanico Bridge, a prominent landmark connecting Leyte and Samar islands in the Eastern Visayas, offers a captivating experience for tourists. It is easily accessible by vehicle, bus, or tricycle from Tacloban City, and visitors can leisurely walk along its pedestrian paths to enjoy panoramic views of the San Juanico Strait. Both solo exploration and guided tours, often bundled with Tacloban city excursions, are feasible. The bridge is open year-round, though the dry season (November to May) provides the most ideal weather for clearer views. There is no direct cost to cross the bridge, making it an affordable attraction; visitors only incur transportation expenses. A typical visit duration ranges from 30 minutes to an hour for photo opportunities and soaking in the scenery. As the longest bridge in the Philippines connecting two islands, it's not only an engineering marvel but also beautifully illuminated at night by the San Juanico Aesthetic Lighting Project, offering a unique evening spectacle.
