Porto’s most visible bridge
This iconic double-decker bridge was built in 1886 by a student of Gustave Eiffel. It was a big deal since it replaced a makeshift bridge made from old port boats tied together. Back then, the tumultuous river, Rio Douro, had no dams so people took their lives into their own hands when they crossed.
The top deck is for pedestrians and a metro line and the lower deck is for autos.
