Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is one of London's famous bridges and one of its most iconic landmarks. From the bridge, you get a breathtaking view over London. The bridge was opened in 1894 to ease road traffic while maintaining river access to the busy Pool of London docks. Built with giant moveable roadways that lift up for passing ships, it is to this day considered an engineering marvel. It is free to walk over the bridge, of course.

Along with Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge is one of London's landmarks and arguably one of the most beautiful bridges in the world. The 244-meter-long suspension and bascule bridge over the River Thames was only built at the end of the 19th century and connects the boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Southwark. Tower Bridge is one of the hotspots for tourists. A walk along the almost 50-meter-long pedestrian walkway offers a unique view of London. But the bridge not only offers beautiful views, it is also a museum. Learn all about the bridge's history at the Tower Bridge Exhibition! In 2014, the pedestrian bridge received an update. The new, modern look now includes a walkable 11-meter-long and 1.8-meter-wide glass floor, from which you can look down about 40 meters at moving cars, bicycles, and boats. Unfortunately, this isn't necessarily recommended for those with a fear of heights, but for everyone else, the glass floor is one of the highlights of the city. The only real highlight, however, is and remains, of course, the bridge's folding mechanism.loving-travel.com/de/tower-bridge-london

The 244-meter-long suspension and bascule bridge over the Thames should not be missed on any city tour. The almost 50-meter-long pedestrian walkway offers a unique view of London and since 2014 there has been an 11-meter-long glass floor just under 40 meters away, only for those who are "not afraid of heights".
