I love bridges - bridges that are more than spans over something but efidices in their own rights.

Here is my Top Ten Favorite Bridges in Europe - what are yours?

(No order of favoriteness)

1- Tower Bridge, London

2- The Firth of Forth train bridge - Scotland

3- Any white hump-backed wooden drawbridge in Holland or Belgium - such as those lovingly spanning the Amstel in Amsterdam and those in Bruges

4- Rialto, Venice

5- Bridge of Sighs, Venice

6- Pont d'Avignon - well it's only about half standing but the song...

7- the Pont du Gard - Provence, France - an old aqeduct soaring hundreds of feet above the river it bridges

8- Ponte Vecchio - Florence

9- Iron Bridge, Iron Bridge Gorge, England - the world's first non-stone bridge

10 - Millennium Bridge, London - swell v iews from it to St Pauls or to the Tate Modern but also a really unique bridge

This isn't in Europe but I'll add the George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River between NJ and NYC, with the Little Red Lighthouse below.

laverendrye - i thought after posting could be wrong bridge but Remagen's was very famous - i guess the only bridge over the Rhine left standing for long and thus crucial to Allies war efforts? Right - not sure.

Pont Valentre in Cahors
Chenonceau
Many of the bridges on the Seine in Paris especially Pont Alexander III.

I love many of the above but would add one more, Pegasus Bridge, the securing of which (in the early hours of June 6th 1944) was crucial to the success of the D Day landings which followed at day break that same day. It's not a pretty bridge but it is of huge historical importance.

The cafe (which was the first house in occupied France to be freed) has been kept as a memorial and museum.

The new Samuel Beckett bridge over the Liffey in Dublin is rather attractive with a harp appearance, it has just opened.

The collection of bridges across the Tyne at Newcastle.

They demonstrate great engineering through the generations (except for the Redheugh)

Geordie

Charles Bridge Prague
Pont Neuf Paris
Ponte S. Angelo, Rome
ponte Fabricio Rome
Pont du Gard
Bridge of Sighs Venice

Not yet mentioned, the Japanese Bridge in Monet's Garden at Giverny.

We didn't get a chance to visit Mostar on our trip to Bosnia, but I have always wanted to see the famous bridge.
