The bridge, Arouca 516, sits 175 metres above the River Paiva in the north of the country. Its 516 metre-long walkway breaks the record previously held by the Charles Kuonen Bridge in the Swiss Alps. Located near the tiny town of Arouca and within the Unesco-recognised Arouca Geopark, the bridge took two years to construct and is held up by steel cables and two large towers on each side

I just walked across this bridge and it was amazing! I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a little intimidating- even though I know the bridge is safe- but it’s a long way down! I parked in Alvarenga, itself an adventure to get to, and it was about a 1.7km/1mile from the car to the bridge. Loved it! Highly recommend if you are in the Porto area and looking for something different and exciting to do. You’ll need a car to get there though.
