  • Quiz Question

    Queen Emma or Queen Juliana Bridge - which one crosses the Saint Anna Bay?

    Answer

    Both 😉

    The bridges connect the districts of Otrobanda and Punda across the strait of St. Anna Bay.

    The Queen Emma Bridge is the ancient, wooden pontoon bridge that can be driven completely to the shore side of Otrobanda so that ships can pass. You can only cross the 167 meter length on foot or on a maximum of 2 wheels.

    The Queen Juliana Bridge is the main connection between the city districts by car and towers above everything. The steel bridge is painted in the national colors blue and yellow, 56 meters high and 500 meters long.
