We begin with the 1.7 mile long suspension bridge that links Marin County with the city of San Francisco in the United States - The Golden Gate Bridge. Serving the city since 1937, it is known for indulging its visitors with gorgeous horizons of the water, land, and glorious San Francisco skyline.

A cable stayed bridge in Malaysia; The Langkawi Sky Bridge is a superlative site of architectural ingenuity and coherence. Accessible to visitors by foot or the Langkawi Cable Car, this 125 meter long curved bridge is known to inspire an unmitigated affair with nature.

The connecting link between Sydney’s central business district and the North Shore, the Sydney Harbor Bridge is the diligent hub of Sydney's fast-paced life. At 134 meters, this exalted bridge has not only earned its credibility among the world's widest long-span bridges but has also been covetously deemed as the tallest steel arch bridge.

Reputed to be the world's first tilting bridge, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is stunning in every way. Linking Newcastle Quayside with Gateshead Quayside opposite, one side of the structure lies flat for pedestrians and cyclists and then tilts 40 degree to allow boats to pass underneath.

Spanning over the River Spree in Berlin, the Oberbaum Bridge is a stately bridge, basking in sheer magnificence. Throughout its history, this double-decker bridge has been tireless, timeless, grand, and has proven to be one of the city’s most unfaltering features.
