No matter what exciting journey modern adventurers set out on, they will find unique symbols in every, even the smallest city in the world. For example, historical and cultural monuments, ancient artifacts, authentic works of art, and everything else that makes tourists travel to distant countries. However, all these symbols require a special visit, unlike streets and roads, squares and bridges. The symbols can be either included in the list of must-see places or left for the next trip, unlike attractions such as the 25th of April Bridge in the Portuguese capital.

Spanning the city's main waterway, the picturesque Tagus River, the famous bridge connects Lisbon with its suburb of Almada and is considered one of the country's main attractions. It is very difficult to miss such a grandiose structure because the bridge is located in the busiest quarter of the city and is visible from almost any part of the outskirts.

The grand opening of one of the longest bridges in the world took place in 1966. At the time, it was named after former Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Salazar. The present-day name appeared in honor of the Carnation Revolution which took place on April 25, 1974. The similarity of the Lisbon bridge's appearance to carnations had also influenced the decision to give it the more sonorous name, which quickly caught on among the locals and fetched the tourists. With a length of about 2300 meters, the bridge is not only one of the longest but also one of the highest suspension bridges in the world.

Every year hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the bridge, as well as an original observation deck located on the seventh pillar. It offers a fabulous view of the city, the Tagus River, and the giant statue of Jesus Christ on the other bank. And do not forget to take a magnificent selfie that will adorn your favorite photo album.
