The world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge has been completed in northern Portugal, where residents of the nearby town hope the tourist attraction will help revive a region.
Hidden between rock-strewn mountains covered with lush greenery and yellow flowers inside the Unesco-recognized Arouca Geopark, the 516 metres (1,700 feet) bridge hangs 175 metres above the fast-flowing River Paiva.
It's a Tibetan style hanging bridge, held up by steel cables and two huge V shaped towers.
It has stolen the longest bridge title from the Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge in Switzerland.
