Trancão Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Loures Riverside Trail is made up of six kilometres of wooden walkways. It starts at the Trancão cycle-pedestrian bridge, which was opened at the end of July, and ends at the gates of the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira, where the Tagus Estuary Linear Trail begins (of which only a section remains to be built in Alverca). Along the six kilometres, there are several shaded and resting areas, with benches, and some birdwatching spots. There are also exits, which will allow, for example, to connect the walkways to the future Loures riverside green park, which will be built on the land that hosted the World Youth Day and which should be ready by the end of next year.

Ponte Cardeal Dom Manuel Clemente

Highlight • Bridge

Exclusively for cycling and pedestrians, this new bridge, which is just over half a kilometre (560 metres) long, aims to connect the cycle networks of Lisbon, Loures and Vila Franca de Xira.

Mainly built from wood, this beautiful piece of architecture blends in perfectly with its surroundings.

It is also worth seeing at night.

Vasco da Gama Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

North of the Parque das Nações, the Vasco da Gama Bridge swings elegantly over the Tejo: 17.2 km long (of which 12 are over the water), clear height 45 m (maximum where the cable-stayed bridge is; otherwise it is much flatter over the water), longest span 420m. Before the Crimean Bridge was completed in 2019, it was the longest bridge in Europe
