This is the most beautiful bridge in Europe


This time, the European Best Destinations travel organization made a list of the 15 most beautiful bridges in Europe and placed D. Luís, in Porto, in fifth place. Lisbon has two representatives.



European Best Destinations recommends a boat trip under the bridge or a tour of the structure itself to appreciate that “great feat of engineering



The  most beautiful bridges in Europe  stand out for being true works of art.



Designed as the primary purpose of serving two margins and creating the unity of peoples, some raised the bar and architected not only to think of the usefulness of a mere bridge, but to think of the magnificence of the work and the legacy they would leave to the people. .

 

The European Best Destinations website elected 15 bridges as the most beautiful in Europe and Portugal was not out of the list. 

Bridges  are essential: they are links between two banks, sometimes between two cultures, two regions, two cities. They are there to transport food, water, cars and people. European bridges are sometimes works of art  and we have selected for you the most beautiful ones in Europe.

 

The bridge April 25

Lisbon, Portugal

 
The 25th of April  Bridge (25th of April Bridge "25th of April Bridge") is a suspension bridge linking the city of  Lisbon  , the capital of Portugal, to the municipality of Almada, on the left (south) bank of the Tagus River. It opened on August 6, 1966 and a train platform was added in 1999.

 

 Because it is a suspension bridge and similar in color, it is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA. In fact, it was built by the same company (American Bridge Company) that built the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and not the Golden Gate, also explaining its similarity in design. With a total length of 2,277 m, it is the 23rd largest suspension bridge in the world. Until 1974, the bridge was named Salazar Bridge (Salazar Bridge). The name "April 25" commemorates the Carnation Revolution.
