I really enjoyed my walk across the bridge. There were several markers along the walk that if you stopped and looked it had a nice view! There is a designated section to hang locks for love. Lots of boats to watch, and we even got to see the Belle of Cincinnati depart Port!
Super fun to walk over and sightsee from. Interesting history! Easy access from both sides with ample parking.
This is a nice pedestrian bridge into Cincinnati. There is artwork along the bridge and the view of the river is pleasant.
This was the epic spot to watch a sunset! Perfect view of the city! Close convenient parking! And the bridge was maintained as far as cleanliness!!! Loved it! The only negative that I have regarding my time here was that it was not posted clearly that you had to pay for parking so I ended up with a $30 parking ticket when I came back definitely wasn’t happy about that but all is well!
Loved it! It was a really nice experience. The Purple Bridge was beautifully built. in the area there's restaurants and hotels,an aquarium and a beautiful mall, over looking the river. Activities, things for the whole family, and it was a Wednesday evening, and there was "A Live Band." The great thing also ..it was 12 mins from where we stayed in Cincinnati, Ohio
Awesome view! Great location. Locks of love is a great display. Really like all the purple paint and flowers.
Always a nice view but really pretty with Christmas lights and trees
My pregnant friend and Myself visited the Purple Bridge a week ago. The architecture is stunning. We had such a good day riding around on scooters sailing over one bridge after the next.
