25 de Abril Bridge

The 25 de Abril Bridge is a magnificent suspension bridge across the river Tagus in Lisbon, Portugal. It connects the cities of Lisbon and Almada, and is often compared to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge due to its orange color. The bridge was inaugurated in 1966 and has become a symbolic landmark and one of the most identifiable features of Lisbon’s landscape. The bridge’s main pillars are so tall that they can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. At night, its bright orange lighting illuminates the city. From the bridge you can get stunning views of Lisbon and the Tagus River. It is a great place to take in all the beauty the city has to offer.
