Nestled in the heart of Goa, the Atal Setu Bridge is a marvel of modern engineering that seamlessly connects the bustling cities of Porvorim and Panaji. Spanning 5.1 kilometers across the tidal waters of the Mandovi River, this cable-stayed bridge is not just a passage, but a spectacle. As you drive along its four lanes, the 30-meter height offers a panoramic view of the river below, with the sun casting a golden glow on the water. The bridge's sleek design and robust structure make it a standout feature in Goa's landscape, while its prohibition on two and three-wheelers adds a touch of exclusivity.

Amazing Service
This bridge is amazing 🌉✨ Crossed it to get to Ashwem beach and the vibes were fire (fire emoji). Saw some gorgeous sunset views and even caught a glimpse of a festival in the village. Definitely a must-see in Goa (beach emoji)
Good Service
The Siolim Chopdem Bridge is a serene landmark that offers stunning views of the Chapora River. It's a perfect spot for a romantic walk, especially during sunset. The nearby St. Anthony's church and the tranquil village atmosphere make it an ideal place for a peaceful getaway.
