25 de Abril Bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril)
Best time to visit
Golden hour at sunset provides the best light for photography and warm city colors. Early weekday mornings are quieter on the riverfronts and give unobstructed views.
Budget tips
Viewing from Belém, Cais do Sodré and Almada riverfronts is free; take the inexpensive ferry to Cacilhas for closer views. Buy and top up a Viva Viagem card for cheaper ferries and suburban trains, Cristo Rei hilltop viewpoint charges a small entrance fee.

About
Hurtige fakta: Rødmalet stål og lange hængende kabler skaber en dramatisk silhuet over vandet, og togets buldrende gennemkørsel på den nederste bane giver fodgængere et uventet rytmisk soundtrack. Med en længde på næsten 2,3 kilometer forbinder den to bredder, tusindvis af biler krydser dagligt, og solnedgangens lys får mange til at gribe kameraet.
Højdepunkter: Broen er 2.277 meter lang med et midterspænd på 1.013 meter, og når et pendeltog buldrer over det nederste dæk mærker du en lav, metallisk vibration i gulvet og en salt tangduft fra floden. Den blev indviet i 1966 under et helt andet navn, og efter opstanden den 25. april 1974 blev den omdøbt; mange lokale hvisker stadig om de røde nelliker når de går over den.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for cobbles and the short steep paths near viewpoints.
- Aim for sunrise or sunset at Belém or Cais do Sodré for soft light and fewer people.
- Catch the ferry to Cacilhas and follow signs up to Cristo Rei for elevated panoramic shots.
- Avoid trying to cross on foot, pedestrian access is restricted; use riverside viewpoints instead.
