Spanning high over the Daugava, Vanšu Bridge is a special part of your Riga jogging route. From here, you have an unobstructed view of the river landscape and the city skyline – a moment when you can really feel the vastness of the surroundings. The slightly uphill path across the bridge gives you a little extra incentive, and once you reach the top, your effort is rewarded with an impressive view.
Although the bridge can be quite busy during the day, the early morning hours or dusk often offer a calmer atmosphere where you can run almost undisturbed. The wind blowing up here brings a fresh breeze and reminds you that you are on one of Riga's highest bridges.
The bridge vibrates slightly under footsteps and traffic – an unusual, light tingling sensation that reminds you how vibrant the city is below you. A run across Vanšu Bridge combines modern Riga with a touch of adventure and offers a dynamic change on your route.
