Review & FAQ:

Affectionately known as the Golden Gate’s twin sister, the 25 de Abril Bridge strongly resembles the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It was built in 1966 and named after Salazar, but the name was changed soon after the revolution in 1974.

Visitors can best see the beauty of the 25 de Abril Bridge and the Tagus River, which it is suspended over from Doca de Santo Amaro. It is also recommended to get up close to the bridge, as there is a marina and dock underneath it. Numerous bars and restaurants can also be found underneath the 3,323-foot span of the bridge.
