Ponte de Ferro
Ponte Aldo Pereira de Andrade
A steel truss bridge completed in 1929 that originally carried the railway and is now a road bridge over the Itajaí-Açu River, a great spot for river views and the city skyline.
The Iron Bridge's official name is Aldo Pereira de Andrade Bridge. It was originally a railway bridge on the Santa Catarina Railway, and its steel truss structure is said to have been ordered from Germany and shipped over. After the railway closed, it was converted into a road and pedestrian bridge, and it is one of Blumenau's city symbols. From the bridge or the riverside path you can see the Itajaí-Açu River and downtown buildings, and the light is best in the evening. It is on the north side of the city centre, about a 10-minute walk from Rua XV de Novembro.
