The Friendship Bridge is an iconic international crossing that connects Brazil and Paraguay over the Paraná River. Opened in 1965, this steel-and-concrete bridge carries heavy traffic of shoppers, traders, and tourists daily. Pedestrians can walk across to Ciudad del Este, a bustling commercial hub known for electronics and duty-free goods. The bridge offers striking views of the river and surrounding landscapes, and its constant activity reflects the vibrant cross-border exchange that defines the region.

Don't miss

  • Walk across the bridge for panoramic views of the Paraná River and both cities.
  • Observe the lively flow of vehicles and pedestrians crossing the border.
  • Visit Ciudad del Este's markets and shops just steps from the bridge's Paraguayan end.
