Vacation to Lisbon, Portugal

​Vasco da Gama Bridge in Lisbon

Picture
This elegant cable-stay bridge is amongst the longest in Europe and is particularly flanked from the green spaces and entertainments of Parque das Nacoes somewhere.
Vasco de Gama is among the longest bridges in Europe. The huge overpass crosses the River Tagus for 10 miles (17 kilometers) from Lisbon for the municipality of Montijo.
 
The bridge was named following your Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, who discovered the sea approach to India inside 15th 
century. It’s such a long time that the bridge’s architects was required to account with the curvature of the world in its construction. It was developed to ease the congested traffic south of Lisbon and was completed for that opening from the World Fair in 1998.
 
More than 3,000 people and four engineering companies were linked to completing the bridge, that has a different engineering firm hired to take care of four different sections. It was finished within 1 . 5 years.
Enjoy views with the River Tagus and also the Vasco da Gama Bridge in the viewing platform from the 575-foot (145-meter) high Vasco da Gama Tower. The tower will be the tallest skyscraper in Lisbon which is shaped like a sail. Bars, gelatarias and restaurants line the waterfront nearby. Shop for perfume, fashion and accessories on the Vasco da Gama mall.
 
Make probably the most of Lisbon’s great weather using a cruise across the river. Take a sailing lesson or rent a canoe to paddle within the bridge.
Enjoy more views in the bridge from your Parque das Nacoes, one on the most modern areas in Lisbon. The park showcases striking contemporary architecture, in the Oriente section with its tree-like glass and steel canopy to your Portugal Pavilion, that has a concrete roof the same shape as a ship’s sail. Volcano-shaped fountains decorate the park.
Reach the Vasco da Gama Bridge and surrounding attractions via metro. A cable car and miniature train connect the attractions from the Parque das Nacoes.
