A Cruise ship on the Tagus River.
Opened in 1966, The Ponte 25 de Abril Bridge elicits a double take for anyone familiar with San Francisco. From Wikipedia: "The 25 de Abril Bridge is based in part on two San Francisco Bay Area bridges. Its paint is the same International Orange color as the famous Golden Gate Bridge, and the design is similar as well to the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge. Both the Bay Bridge and the 25 de Abril Bridge were built by the same company."
The Santuário de Cristo Rei (Sanctuary of Christ the King) can also be seen in the photo, on the south bank of the river. It is a Catholic statue dedicated to Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, inspired by Rio's Christ the Redeemer
