Bridges we don’t want to burn…
Have you ever crossed a bridge and just admired its beauty? Or maybe you’ve wondered how the heck they managed to construct the bridge. At JoinMyTrip, we’re all about building bridges with friends you haven’t met yet! Start building bridges and visiting them! Here’s where you can find the most beautiful and unique bridges around the world…
10. Capilano Suspension Bridge (Vancouver, Canada)
We’re all fans of suspension bridges, and in the area of Vancouver, you’ll find plenty. One of the most beautiful ones is Capilano Suspension Bridge, drooping over lush greenery. It sits 230 feet above the Capilano River, so if you’re afraid of heights, this one might not be for you! Ticket prices to get into the park are around 40 CAD (€27), which might seem spendy- but you get access to all the cool sights in the park. Reserve a day to explore this beautiful area!

8. Charles Bridge (Prague, Czech Republic)
This medieval bridge was completed at the beginning of the 15th century, which means that quite a few people have walked over it through the years. Stretching for over 500 meters, you’ll find many street artists on the bridge, serenading your walk or selling art. The bridge connects the two parts of the town- the Lesser Quarter and Old Town.

7. Bastei Bridge (Lohmen, Germany)
The surrounding nature of this bridge is simply stunning. Located in the Saxon Switzerland National Park, the views from the bridge to the Elbe River and Mountain are like from a fairytale. The most special part about this bridge is that it almost looks like it blends in with the rock formations around it.

6. Tower Bridge (London, England)
This famously known landmark of London is like the rest of the city: full of royal energy. Although a walk over the bridge is already an experience in itself, you’ll get the whole experience by going to the top. Tickets cost around £10 or €12. If you’re a student, you’ll get up for cheaper, so make sure to bring your student card. Here are other tips on how you can travel with a student budget.
