What travelers say:

April 25 Bridge, across the Tru River, a landmark building in Lisbon, Portugal. Unnamed. When I first entered Lisbon, I passed a bridge and the tour guide said gently: On April 25, the bridge arrived... I was surprised to understand that in 1966, in order to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the rule of Prime Minister Salazar of Portugal, the bridge was built and named the Salazar Bridge; Portugal's "Lilac Revolution" on April 25, 1974, overthrows Salazar's dictatorship and establishes a democratic regime; in honor of this historical moment, the bridge was renamed "April 25 Bridge". The shape of the twin tower suspension bridge, the half-circle arc steel cable group, the orange bridge body... the same appearance, known as the sister bridge of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The road and railway are dual-use, the bridge spans 1012 meters, and the total length is 2,277 meters. It is both the main artery of north-south traffic in Lisbon, and it is like a rainbow across the Tejo River, which has become an iconic landscape in Lisbon. Tip: On the south bank of the bridge is another landmark building in Lisbon - on the top of Almada, the statue + the large statue of Jesus with a total height of 110 meters, opens your huge hands and overlooks the beautiful Lisbon.
