A floating pontoon bridge from 1888 spanning St. Anna Bay in Willemstad, affectionately called the Swinging Old Lady because it pivots open on boat hulls to let ships pass. Crossing on foot between the Punda and Otrobanda districts, with their rows of pastel Dutch facades, is the definitive Willemstad experience.
