The most beautiful imo is the Ponte Vecchio but no doubt the most impressive is the Golden Gate.

You gotta appreciate the marvel of these bridges built without the sophisticated machinery and precision tools as we have today.

I'm surprised Charels Bridge from Prague isn't there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bridge

Personally I think the Golden Gate Bridge isn't the most impressive bridge, if it would be a top ten it would be nearer to a seven than a one.

I never knew about the Rain & wind bridge and that bridge in Iran, especially the latter is incredibly beautiful!

I agree that the Charels Bridge in Prague should be in the list as well, as should the Széchenyi Chain Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sz%C3%A9chenyi_Chain_Bridge) in Budapest.

A few surprises in that list, but not many. That bridge in Iran is really neat. Too bad Iran is such a dangerous country for westerners to visit. I had also never heard of the Rain and Wind bridges. Being a Maritimer I was disappointed to not see a reference to the covered bridge in Hartland, New Brunswick in the covered bridge entry. The Hartland Bridge is the world's longest covered bridge. I have driven over it and it does take a bit of time to get across.

I personally think that the Manhattan Bridge is a more beautiful bridge than the Brooklyn Bridge, and thats already modeled, so anyone want to do the Manhattan? :p
