1. Queen Emma Bridge, also known as the \"Swinging Old Lady\" or \"Pontoon Bridge,\" is a floating pedestrian bridge located in the capital city of Willemstad on the island of Curacao in the Caribbean. It connects the Punda and Otrobanda neighborhoods, which are divided by the St. Anna Bay.

This unique pontoon bridge was originally built in 1888 and has since become one of Curacao’s most famous landmarks.
