Don’t look down! Here are some of the scariest bridges in the world. Hold your breath, and have a look!

1.Aiguille du Midi Bridge (France)

Don't go for its short length, and this bridge has made into this list for being 12,500 feet above sea level! Even the cable cars take 20-minutes to climb the 9,200 vertical feet up to the access point on the mountain.

2.Mount Titlis Bridge, Engelberg (Switzerland)

Floating in the sky nearly 3,000 meters above the ground? ---this is certainly not a bridge for the acrophobic!

3.Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge (China)

Being theworld’s longest and highest glass bridge, it stretches about 1,410 feet between two mountains in the Tianmenshan National Forest Park. Though structurally sound, it is only able to handle 8,000 visitors per day, but was seeing ten times as many.

4.Hussaini Hanging Bridge (Pakistan)

Just take a look at this bridge, which crosses Borit Lake, and you’ll understand why it’s often dubbed the most dangerous bridge in the world.Walking across this gap filled shaky bridge is not something for the faint hearted!

5.Royal Gorge Bridge (Colorado)

Sitting 955 feet above the rushing waters of the Arkansas River, it holds the title of the highest bridge in the U.S. Without any stabilizing wind cables; it's a damn scary job to walk across the bridge's 1,292 wooden planks!

6.Marienbrucke Bridge (Germany)

Queen Mary's Bridge (Marienbrucke) passes 90 m (295 ft) over the Pöllat river and offers exceptional views of the magnificent Neuschwanstein Castle. Althought you might have to struggle a bit in the crowd to get your ideal shot of the castle, but the picture-perfect views are worth it. Besides, officially, this is the most dangerous bridge on earth.

7.Monkey Bridges (Vietnam)

While crossing this bridge, you'll become a monkey! Don't believe it? Let me explain.The name comes from the funny posture people have to adopt while crossing. The scary element is, this bridge is made with only one giant log for your feet, and another smaller, unsteady one for your hands. So trying being a monkey once!

8.Sidu River Bridge (China)

This teetering steel construction has the title of the highest bridge in the world.It connects Shanghai with Chongqing. Though scary to walk, don't fear it is also one of the sturdiest bridges ever built.

9.Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (Northern Ireland)

This delicate bridge is 98-foot-high and attracts roughly 250,000 each year. Visitors who brave the 66-foot-long bridge are rewarded with sweeping views of theRathlin Island, Scotland, and the Irish Sea at the same time.

10.Ai Petri Bridge (Ukraine)

This is for the thrill-seekers and mountaineers! This frightening footbridge crosses over a canyon 4,200 feet deep and connects two peaks of the Crimean Mountains. What makes this bridge dangerous is the massive presence of wind and fog that the area deals with on a regular basis. Even on a relatively calm day, tourists can feel the bridge swaying back and forth as they cross the enormous canyon.

BONUS

Mystery Bridge (Indonesia)

Can you even count this as a bridge? Undoubtedly a scary one for the tourists because the minimal equipment used only a couple of rope.

Pont de Singe (England)

This English bridge looks like something straight out of dreamland! What's breathtaking to see are the three large balloons that hang over the bridge. Found in Tatton Park, the bridge celebrates the park’s 200th birthday. You can fnd this bridge in the Japanese Garden section of the park. But hold on, only one person is allowed to walk on it at a time. Sadly, not for a dreamy couple shoot!

The Qeswachaka Bridge (Peru)

It is an Inca rope bridge placed over gorges, canyons, and rivers.
