Webb Bridge

Webb Bridge spans the Yarra River in Melbourne's Docklands, part of the Capital City Trail. A striking, sculptural pedestrian and cycle bridge, it's become a genuine landmark of the precinct — its distinctive curving, lattice-like form (inspired by Indigenous fishing traps) making it as much a piece of public art as a river crossing.

The appeal is that combination of bold, eye-catching design and a lovely riverside setting: it's a great spot for a walk or cycle along the Yarra, a striking subject for a photo, and an easy, scenic way to cross the river and explore the Docklands. Its sculptural form makes it one of the most photographed and admired bridges in the city.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,300 reviews, it's clearly admired by those who cross it. The bridge is free and open as part of the Capital City Trail, so there's nothing to book — though as it's exposed by the river it's worth keeping an eye on the weather, while enjoying the distinctive design and the Docklands river views that make Webb Bridge such a standout.
