The Nassaubrug is a historical drawbridge located in the Antwerp harbor area, connecting the Bonapartedok and Willemdok since its opening in 1867. It is the oldest bridge in the Antwerp harbor and is listed as a protected monument. The bridge, which is primarily for pedestrians and cyclists, has been restored several times, with major renovations completed in 2004. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful views of the harbor and the unique architecture of the bridge, which features a 16-meter wide passage. While it is rarely opened today, special events like the Tall Ships' Races may require its operation. No admission fees are charged, making it accessible to everyone.
