Kettenbrücke Aarau

Kettenbrücke Aarau is a 19th‑century chain suspension bridge spanning the Aare River, a short walk from Aarau’s historic center. Rebuilt in the early 20th century but retaining its classic form, it reflects Switzerland’s early industrial engineering and links the city with scenic riverside paths. Visitors come for calm views of the Aare, photo-friendly perspectives of Aarau’s skyline, and easy access to nearby parks and old-town sights. It’s a pleasant stop for a stroll or cycling break rather than a standalone attraction, best combined with exploring Aarau’s Altstadt, museums, and waterfront.
