6. Charles Bridge: Prague, Czech Republic

Charles Bridge is undoubtedly the most romantic building in Prague. The unusual bridge attracts tourists with its magnificent sculptures, the magnificent panorama of the city, and the promises of the fulfillment of cherished desires.

According to legend, the monk Jan Nepomuk refused to give the king the name of the queen's beloved, which she named during confession. For this Jan was thrown off the bridge into the Vltava River. Now on the Charles Bridge there is a sculpture of St. John, and fulfills wishes for love and friendship. If you rub the figure of Jan on the left, then the friendship with the person you are thinking of will intensify. And if on the right, all your innermost romantic dreams will come true. If a man carries his beloved across the entire Charles Bridge, then their life together will be full of happiness, prosperity and love.

7. Chain Bridge: Budapest, Hungary

Another romantic place in Europe is the Chain Bridge in Budapest. This bridge is called one of the most beautiful in Europe. It connects the two historical parts of the city - Buda and Pest. In 1849, the Chain Bridge became the first permanent bridge across the Danube.

The lion figures guarding the bridge entrances are especially popular among the townspeople and tourists. One of the amusing legends says that if a man crosses the bridge who has never cheated on his wife (even in his thoughts!), The stone animals will roar throughout the city.

8. New bridge. Paris, France

Where will the lovers go? Of course to Paris! And already in Paris, be sure to walk along the New Bridge. The paradox of the bridge in its name. For over 300 years, Parisians have called the "New" the oldest bridge in the city.

For lovers, Pont-Neuf is interesting because it is one of the few bridges in modern Paris, where you can still hang a lock for lovers as a sign of the strength of their feelings. True, this can be done not anywhere on the bridge, but only around the statue of Henry IV.

9. Ponte Vecchio: Florence, Italy

The stone Ponte Vecchio is a three-arch structure with a wide observation deck offering stunning views of the Arno River and the "Blooming City".

Rumor has it that it was on this bridge in Florence that the tradition of hanging locks arose as a sign of unbreakable love. Who came up with this now is difficult to say. But enterprising Florentine merchants could not pass up the opportunity to earn extra money. The shops near the romantic bridge sell locks for every taste.

You should know that now there is a ban on hanging locks on the bridge. The fine is 50 euros.

10. Bridge Cangas de Onis: Cangas de Onis, Spain

This amazing bridge has been connecting the two banks of the Sella River for over 2000 years. It is because of its age that the bridge received its second name, the Roman Bridge.

The feeling of walking along the "eternal bridge" cannot be described in words. And the view from its center is stunning. Not surprisingly, over the years, the bridge has learned to make wishes come true. It is enough to make a secret wish in the center of the bridge, and it will certainly come true.

In addition to the concentration of romance, each of the bridges in the selection is a historical heritage, a masterpiece of architecture and just a beautiful structure!
