World's Most Beautiful Bridges
Bridges aren't usually the first thing you think of when choosing where to go on vacation, but these often-overlooked passageways can be architectural marvels. Whether it's for vehicles or pedestrians, a bridge connects two places - even if it's simply two sides of a river. While these spanning structures are certainly convenient, they're also a great place to see beautiful works of art and impressive feats of engineering. Across the world, people have been finding innovative ways to build sturdy spans that not only make commutes more efficient, but also add aesthetic value. A beautiful landscape is only enhanced when you're standing on a beautiful bridge.
#LangkawiSkyBridge
The longest free span and curved bridge in the world, this futuristic structure can accommodate 250 people at once. Completed in 2004, it hangs an astonishing 701m above sea level, providing jaw-dropping views of the lush jungle. The structure is also suspended from an 82-metre-high single pylon, swinging out over the magnificent landscape below. Visit on an overcast day and you will literally be among the clouds.
#HelixBridge
Helix Bridge, Singapore
This remarkable piece of architecture at Singapore's Marina Bay is the world's first curved double-helix bridge, providing a direct connection between the Marina Centre and the Marina South. Inspired by the geometric arrangement of DNA, the walkway is encircled by opposing double helix structures of stainless steel.
#BixbyBridge
Although a landslide in February resulted in parts of the Big Sur being inaccessible by car, this bridge still makes the cut. Located in California, Bixby Bridge is one of the most photographed in the world. You'll also recognise it from numerous television series, including the recent American drama Big Little Lies. Pull over at various turnouts for amazing views.
#PythonBridge
Python Bridge, Amsterdam
One of the most unusual structures in Europe, the red snake-like shape of Python Bridge connects Sporenburg with Borneo Island. It also clinched the International Footbridge Award in 2002, just a year after it was built. But be warned: crossing the bridge's undulating walkway in adverse weather is not for the faint-hearted!
#BrooklynBridge
One of the most famous sights in New York City, Brooklyn Bridge dates back to the 1800s. Those rising Gothic towers, criss-crossing steel cables and double arches make walking or cycling across the bridge an unforgettable experience.

#SydneyBarbourBridge

#RialtoBridge
For nearly 300 years, this Venetian bridge was the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot. Connecting the districts of San Polo and San Marco, this is the oldest of the four bridges spanning the canal and many famous artists submitted plans for it. Designer Antonio da Ponte was the lucky one who secured the bid, building the bridge out of marble. Today, it is one of the most visited tourist spots in the country.
#SultanSelimBridge
With pylons higher than the Eiffel Tower, Turkey's Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, also called the Third Bosphorus Bridge, is the tallest suspension bridge in the world. As environmental
