Queen Juliana Bridge
The Queen Juliana Bridge is the high, four-lane road bridge that arcs over St. Anna Bay, tall enough for cruise ships to pass beneath, and the source of the best panorama in Willemstad.
While the Queen Emma Bridge floats at water level for pedestrians, the Juliana soars above for traffic. There is a viewpoint area near the top offering a sweeping vista of the painted city, the harbour and the sea, spectacular at sunset. It is best reached by car or taxi rather than on foot.
Good to know
- Go by car or taxi to the viewpoint for the panorama.
- Sunset offers the most dramatic light over the city.
- Not a pedestrian walk, it carries fast traffic.
