it is astounding in its span and beauty, and we love it as it looks like our Golden Gate Bridge at home. Spans the wide river carrying a lot of cars, buses, and also train service between Lisbon and the suburbs and towns to the south. And we see it from underneath where there is a lot of riverfront development. The big bridge casts a shadow and sends some traffic and train noise down to us.

We loved visiting the 25th April Bridge, you literally could be in San Francisco except this one is named after the date of Portugal’s revolution. It was so windy when we went in December, we could barely stand up. We have walked across the Golden Gate Bridge and wanted to do this one too but pedestrians are not allowed unfortunately, it’s cars and trains only. You get some lovely sunsets in Lisbon featuring the bridge as the sun sets behind it from certain viewpoints in the city. As bridges go, it’s right up there.

There is so many photos, so many opinions about this bridge. There is nothing but add "that's true". Bridge is big, red, stunning and loud. Unfortunately available only on highway or by train. But there is so many oppotunities to take a photo.
