Many will decide that it is, of course, Venice and turn out to be wrong. Someone will say that in Amsterdam - and again by. London? No! This city has more bridges than all of these cities combined. Two and a half thousand large and small bridges across two rivers, on the banks of which this city is located.

To the question Which city has the most BRIDGES? set by the author * * ☭ * *
the best answer is The city with the largest number of bridges is not Venice at all, but Hamburg. There are more bridges here than in St. Petersburg, Amsterdam and Venice, combined - 2376.
Hamburg is almost surrounded by water on all sides. The Alster River is divided into two lakes Binnen and Alster (Aussenalster) (which means "internal" and "external"), located on both sides of the city, and the Elbe River flows directly through the city and flows into the North Sea. Such an abundance of water means the presence of many canals, rivers and bridges. In fact, few people know that in Hamburg there are more bridges than in any other city in the world, as well as more channels than in Amsterdam and Venice combined. According to estimates, their number ranges from 2300 to 2500 - which is much more than the total number of channels in London, Amsterdam and Venice. Below are the most famous bridges of this wonderful city:
Köhlbrand Bridge (Köhlbrandbrücke)
The Köhlbrand bridge opened in 1974 and has since been one of Hamburg's most famous attractions. Its length is 3940 meters, and the span of the central, cable-stayed part is 325 meters. From 1974 to 1991, this bridge was considered the longest bridge in the world, including a cable-stayed span.

Bridge over the free port of Elba
Hamburg Bridges Network On the Elbe, there are several independent bridges that cross the Elbe River, which flows through Hamburg. This Hamburg shipping route is divided into two main branches - the North Elbe and the South Elbe, which merge after they pass the network of the Elbe Islands.
Hamburg bridge over the Elbe (Harburger Elbbrücke). 
The old Hamburg bridge over the Elbe was opened in 1899. The 474 meter steel arch bridge, originally built for motor vehicles, was the first road bridge over the southern arm of the Elbe. 
Kattwyk Bridge 
Lombard Bridge (Lombardsbruecke) and Kennedybrücke Bridge. 
The Lombard Bridge in Hamburg is a railway and road bridge over the Alster River.

The place where the bridge is located was once a popular meeting place for female water-carriers.

Answer from Yoivik[newbie]
Of course there are more bridges in Hamburg. In second place, in my opinion, Amsterdam.
Answer from Lyudmila Mikheeva[newbie]
Thank. And I thought that in St. Petersburg.
Hamburg - the second (after Berlin) heart of Germany. Tourists visit it with pleasure, because here you can not only look at the many attractions, but simply enjoy walking along the picturesque streets. Gives a special flavor to the city huge number of bridges across the Elba River, which, according to various estimates, number from 2300 to 2500. In all of Europe you won’t find another city where so many bridges were built: Hamburg “outdid” Venice, Amsterdam and London combined in this indicator.
One of Hamburg's most famous bridges is Kölbrandbrücke. It was opened in 1974 and until 1991 remained the largest in the world, because the width of its span is 325 m, and the length is 3940 m.
Among the oldest bridges in Hamburg, Elbbrück should be noted. In 1899, it was built for automobile traffic, but over time other bridges appeared over the Elbe. After the reconstruction, which took place from 1980 to 1985, Elbbrück is used as a pedestrian, in addition, the movement of cyclists and motorcyclists is allowed on it.
Kattwick Bridge is famous for being the largest bridge in the world for rail and road transport with a vertical lift, whose height is 46 meters. Automobile traffic is suspended for 8-10 minutes while the train is passing. In addition, the lift allows ships to pass through the bridge, on weekdays every two hours the movement also stops in order to let the ships pass.
Special attention should be paid to the Lombard and Kennedy bridges. As you might guess, the Lombard railway bridge got its name after the institution was opened here in 1651. By the way, until 1865 the bridge was wooden. In 1953, another bridge was built near the Lombard bridge. It was necessary because it was necessary to "unload" the stream of transport that crossed the lake Alster. Named after the American president, he was later, in 1963, after the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
The historic Trostbrucke bridge, built in 1881, originally served as the border between the old and new cities of Hamburg. On the bridge are stone statues of Count Adolph III, as well as Bishop Ansger, who is the founder of the city's cathedral.
