It's the kind of bridge that has artistic maritime like features that makes you want to take photos of it, definitely not just a simple functional typical boring looking bridge. Connects Docklands and South Wharf, pedestrians and cyclists only. Probably not many notices, but there are 3 (smaller) arches towards the north side, and 4 (slightly larger) arches to the south giving it that progressive ascension feeling towards the MCEC, as you walk through it, on what feels like wings around you. The river is not usually this brown, just a gloomy day's reflection on naturally murky muddy Yarra river, just setting expectations on what it could look like too.
The Seafarers Bridge in Melbourne is a striking pedestrian bridge connecting the north and south banks of the Yarra River. Its sleek, elegant design features a curved structure with cables supporting the walkway. The bridge offers a picturesque view of the cityscape, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Its functionality seamlessly integrates with the surrounding area, providing a convenient pathway for pedestrians and cyclists. The architectural brilliance and strategic location make it an iconic landmark in Melbourne. With its graceful curves and efficient design, the Seafarers Bridge stands as a testament to modern engineering and urban planning, enhancing the city's connectivity while adding aesthetic value to its skyline.
The pedestrian walk is bustling with people, many of whom are capturing pictures of the fantastic view.
Seafarer bridge with his nice design, it's a a very convenient way to cross the Yarra river in South Wharf while having some city views! Around the area there is the iconic DFO and many pubs and bars. In a sunny day is very nice to come and relax in the area or doing some exercise, especially in the morning with many boats passing by. Be mindful of bikes and scooters while walking on the bridge because it's not pedestrian only.
A visually appealing and genuinely convenient pedestrian bridge, Seafarers bridge connects South Wharf DFO and Melbourne Exhibition Convention Centre with the charms of city on the opposite side.
A range of restaurants are there that one can visit with friends, family or business colleagues after work. Also, the Yarra river, over which the bridge has been constructed, is like a silver ribbon , laid between high rise building which makes them look even taller because of reflection from its waters.
If you love walking along banks of river, it’s the perfect place to go and begin with mesmerising nature and human colonies at the same time.

SPECTACULAR PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE CONNECTING THE CBD TO SOUTH WHARF
The Seafarers Bridge is a neat way to get across the Yarra River from the city to South Wharf.
It's a pedestrian-onlly bridge with great views along the river and back into the city.
It has a very modern design and belnds in well with the newish archictecture of South Wharf.
Its an easy walk with no steps so people with mobility issues should be fine on the bridge itself and the South Wharf side.
