7 Unique Bridges Around the World | Incredible Architectural Wonders You Have to See!

Discover 7 of the most unique and breathtaking bridges around the world! From stunning architectural designs to incredible engineering feats, these bridges are true marvels.
1. The Dragon Bridge in Da Nang, Vietnam, is an iconic landmark and engineering marvel. Spanning the Han River, this 666-meter-long bridge is shaped like a majestic dragon, symbolizing power and prosperity. At night, it dazzles with colorful LED lights, and on weekends, it breathes fire and water, creating a spectacular show. As a fairly new construction, built in 2009, the bridge coincides with Da Nang's recent influx of real estate investments and tourist infrastructure.
2. Spanning the narrow gap over Columbia’s Guáitara River, Las Lajas Sanctuary resembles an exquisite European castle. Built between 1916 and 1949, the tiny bridge at Las Lajas soars a whopping 160 feet into the air where it connects the sanctuary itself to the stairway on the other side of the canyon. The sanctuary’s gorgeous stained glass reflects off the nave once inside giving the appearance of standing within a kaleidoscope. Its intricate design and the miraculous origin story of the Virgin of Las Lajas make it a spiritual and cultural treasure.
3. The Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne, Switzerland, is a historic wooden bridge and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Built in the 14th century, it stretches across the Reuss River and features a charming tower and centuries-old interior paintings. As the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe, it offers visitors a glimpse into Lucerne's rich history and picturesque beauty. The iconic Wasserturm, or water tower, was previously used as a torture chamber, prison, and treasury, but its modern-day use is as a gift shop.
4. Commonly referred to as the Devil’s Bridge, Rakotzbrücke is a stone bridge, tucked away in the Kromlau Azalea and Rhododendron Park. About two hours south of Berlin, the bridge was built entirely out of rock found in nearby creeks and streams and constructed to appear as if built from basalt rock columns. As if the Rakotzbrücke wasn’t already something out of a fairytale, it was originally commissioned by a local knight, Friedrich Herrmann Rötschke, in 1860. This is not a functioning bridge in the present day but does pose a unique photo opportunity, especially in autumn when the surrounding trees turn vibrant shades of orange and red. If it’s a perfect picture you’re looking for, be sure to visit during rainier months when the water levels are high and the visual of a perfect circle is reflected in the calm waters of the lake.
5. The Banpo Rainbow Bridge in Seoul, South Korea is an interesting addition to a visit to this city. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, it is the longest bridge fountain in the world. Huge crowds gather on the banks of the Han River to witness the show, a dazzling display of lights set to music. You can witness this multicolored spectacle every night from April through October. The first show begins at dusk and lasts for 20 minutes. Bring a picnic blanket and grab some of the staple picnic food of South Korea at one of the nearby vendors.
6. One of the most famous bridges in the United States and a rite of passage for those traveling on the famous Route 1, Bixby Creek Bridge is an iconic image of American road trip culture. Prior to its completion in 1932, residents in the Big Sur area were often cut off for the winter season due to inclement weather and mudslides that would block the Old Coast Road. Designed by F. W. Panhorst, the bridge is a perfect harmony of function and aesthetic as it allows views of the crashing ocean through its arched abutments. It connects Route 1 between two of the most beautiful towns in Southern California, Carmel and San Luis Obispo. The best place to snag the famous picture or view of the bridge is from the Castle Rock Viewpoint.
7. The Storseisundet Bridge in Averøy, Norway, is the most famous and dramatic bridge along the iconic Atlantic Ocean Road. Known for its unique curved design that creates an optical illusion of a "bridge to nowhere," it offers stunning views of the Norwegian coastline and the open sea. Connecting one of Norway’s many famous archipelagos, Storseisundet is a bucket-list destination for road trippers who wish to experience the country’s seemingly endless archipelagos. You may also recognize this scenic bridge from its feature in the James Bond film, No Time To Die, during an iconic chase scene.
