The Vanšu Bridge is a prominent cable-stayed bridge offering excellent panoramic views of Riga's Old Town, the Daugava River, and the Riga Castle. It is fully accessible for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles 24/7, with no seasonal restrictions, though winter weather might affect comfort. Visiting the bridge is free of charge, and typical duration for a walk across or to enjoy the views is about 15-30 minutes. No guided tours are needed; it's ideal for a solo visit or as part of a scenic walk. It's particularly popular for photographers at sunrise or sunset due to the picturesque city skyline.
