A well-designed and effective two-level bridge, with one level designated for cars connecting Lisbon to Setubal on one side of the river, and the second level serving as a railway track.

Beautiful bridge over the Tagus. With the traffic, perhaps better viewed from afar. Great to visit if you're in Lisbon, Almeda, Costa da Caparica, Setubal, or the surrounding area.

The bridge dates back to 20c '60s, being renamed after the Revolution overthrowing Salazar dictator's regime.

That bridge remains me of the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco.
It seems almost unrealistic when you stand in front of it. Really breathtaking and simply huge.
A really impressive building and a must seen in Lisboa.

Beautiful bridge. It reminds San Francisco bridge in California, but much longer. It's very accessible and if you want to experience the best view, then take a walk or a better scooter ride along the Tagus river.
