Portugal The 25 de Abril Bridge, Lisbon

The 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon is an iconic suspension bridge that spans the Tagus River, often compared to San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge due to its similar red color and striking design. For photographers, it's a spectacular subject, especially at sunrise or sunset when the soft light creates dramatic contrasts against the river and city skyline. The bridge’s long, graceful lines and proximity to Lisbon’s historic districts provide numerous angles for stunning shots, from panoramic views to close-up details. Its reflection on the water adds an extra dimension to any composition, making it a must-capture landmark in the city.

This place is “forbidden” to enter, but with caution you can take a photo, it is good to be at sunset and better when the lights of Lisbon come on.
