Festina Lente Bridge
Looping footbridge
About Festina Lente Bridge
Festina Lente, “make haste slowly”, is a footbridge with a loop in its middle that links Obala Maka Dizdara on the left bank with Obala Kulina bana and Radićeva. It was designed by students of the Academy of Fine Arts, whose building, a former church, stands at its end. Our advice: walk through the loop for the photo everyone takes.
