If you want to avoid the many visitors who cross the bridge in procession, especially when the weather is nice, you should be at the bridge by 10:00 a.m. at the latest. The bridge can be accessed from both directions and there are several wooden benches and wooden loungers at the entrance points so you can enjoy this impressive masterpiece of engineering.
