Bridge April 25, Lisbon

We couldn't agree more with the first place on this list drawn up by the European Best Destination, occupied by the 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon. Due to its color, it is often compared to San Francisco's famous Golden Gate. It is a hanging structure that connects the Portuguese capital with Almada, which is located on the opposite bank of the Tagus. Built with steel, this bridge is about 2 kilometers long, considered the longest in Europe. In addition, it is striking that it has two heights: the upper one, aimed at automobiles; and the lower one, for trains.

Tower Bridge, London

The number 2 on the list could not be other than the Tower Bridge (Tower Bridge) of London, one of the essential visits in the English capital, as well as one of the most important symbols of the United Kingdom. Built in the 19th century along with many other bridges with the aim of solving the needs movement of citizens, it was equipped with large lift gates to let the mast ships pass. Today they continue to open to make way for ocean liners and other large vessels.

Vecchio Bridge, Florence

We also very much agree that the Vecchio Bridge in Florence has entered the top 3 on the list. Symbol of the city and the romanticismIt is considered the oldest stone bridge in the entire old continent. And it is that its origins date back to 1345. As a curiosity, the Vecchio Bridge was the only one that was not destroyed by German troops during World War II.

Bastei Bridge, Dresden

The fourth place in the list is occupied by the Bastei Bridge, in Dresden (Germany). It is a bridge built on a formation rocky you will be impressed as soon as you see it. In addition, from here you get spectacular views of the Elbe river. It is located in the Saxon Switzerland National Park and, although it was initially built in wood (around 1824), in 1851 it was built in sandstone. This is how it is preserved today.

Don Luis I Bridge, Porto

We return to Portugal to tell you about the fifth bridge on the list. We refer to the Don Luis I Bridge, located in Porto. The bridge, designed by a disciple of EiffelIt dates from 1886 and it is a spectacular metallic iron structure with two levels (the upper one for the tram and the lower one for cars and pedestrians).
