Suspension Bridge

About This Attraction

Florianópolis Brazil

The Hercílio Luz Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Florianópolis, Brazil. Completed in 1926, it was the longest suspension bridge in Brazil at the time. This historic structure connects the island of Santa Catarina to the mainland and remains a symbol of engineering achievement. While it was closed for many years due to safety concerns, the bridge has since been restored and reopened to pedestrians and cyclists.

Visitors interested in seeing the bridge should note that there are no specific Hercílio Luz Bridge opening hours, as it is accessible at all times. However, walking across is particularly popular during daylight hours when views of the island and city are visible. The bridges restoration included modern features while preserving its original design, making it an interesting site for both tourists and locals. It serves as a reminder of Florianópolis connection to its past and its development over time.
