Queen Emma Bridge, often referred to as the "Swinging Old Lady," is a floating pontoon bridge connecting the Punda and Otrobanda districts in Willemstad, Curaçao. This iconic bridge spans the St. Anna Bay and is unique due to its ability to swing open to allow ships to pass through the bay. Originally built in 1888, the bridge is supported by 16 pontoon boats and is a key pedestrian thoroughfare, offering picturesque views of the colorful colonial buildings that line the waterfront.
