The best bridges are not just feats of engineering but works of art.

The most beautiful bridges in the world - a thread 🧵

1. The original Neue Elbbrücke Bridge, Hamburg, Germany (1887) - its neo-Gothic gateways were tragically removed in 1959 to widen the bridge. Image
2. Liberty Bridge, Budapest, Hungary (1896, rebuilt 1945)

A marvel of Art Nouveau design which connects Buda and Pest across the River Danube. It sustained heavy damage during WW2 but was rapidly rebuilt. Image
3. Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic (1402)

Perhaps the most beautiful medieval bridge still standing, decorated with 30 Baroque-style statues of saints. It stretches across the Vltava River, connecting Prague's Old Town and Lesser Town. Image
