Great bridge. It is a great place to check out the food, wine, walk and a boat ride as well 😀. Two way roads where you can walk all the way across and can even try the rope way which will give you a wonderful scenery of Porto. Boat trips are frequent even and go both ways.

Nice pedestrian bridge in both two levels, the upper lever for the metro & the lower lever for the car & in both of them you can walk. Both levels have great pictures spots but I prefer the upper one.

Stunning bridge in the heart of Porto. A lovely walk over the top with amazing views of the city and river valley. Be aware that trams use the top level as well as pedestrians.

Great view for sunsetting.
Overlooking the river and old town of the city .
The architecture of the bridge itself is stunning. And the location is very convenient. It is close to the city centre and close to the bookstore that inspired  the creation of Harry porter, time out market, cruises and a few other attractions.

This is so amazing. Breezy and a beautiful view of Duoro river.

Trains cross from the bridge, blowing the horn for people to move at the sides.

Can capture some picturesque moments there, and can have the best view of the city.

For me, I reached there by walking, and was quite satisfied to spend time on the bridge.

There are nearby tourist shops and restaurants too if you want to sit and relax.
