Bridges have been vital for transportation throughout the course of history. In the beginning, they were simple structures built using natural resources like logs, stone and mud. But as civilization evolved, so did the infrastructure of bridges — becoming far more significant than a means of getting from point A to point B. Bridges have managed to influence our cultures and improve the way we travel, do business and forge policies.

These towering structures that rise above valleys, rivers and oceans are a testament to human ingenuity, willpower and the ability to defy the many obstacles presented by nature. So, it’s no wonder that bridges around the world have captivated travelers for millennia. Marvels like the Millau Viaduct in France rise higher than the clouds and surpass the height of the Eiffel Tower, while Australia’s Sydney Harbour Bridge holds the title for the tallest steel arch bridge in the world.

From terrifying structures to scenic crossings, there is no shortage of these man made wonders. That’s why Car Rentals put together this guide on the 10 most memorable bridges around the world, so you can learn a little more about each while adding them to your bucket list. Just don’t forget to hold your breath on the crossing!
