A country like Denmark, with so much coastline and water, needs a lot of bridges - and there have been 5 new colorful, stylish bridges built in Copenhagen\\xa0alone in the past decade.

And because this is Denmark, and people love design, each bridge has its own special look. You can\\u2019t just put up a few bridge supports and a deck on top for traffic. You need style, and you need a colorful name.

Consider, for example, the multicolored Kissing Bridge in Copenhagen. It\\u2019s not named that because you\\u2019re supposed to kiss on the bridge, although you can if you like. It\\u2019s named that because it breaks in half on a regular basis to let ships through, and then it\\u2019s supposed to come together again like a kiss.

The Kissing Bridge has needed to visit a relationship counselor, however, because there have been constant problems getting it to kiss. It wasn\\u2019t quite aligned the way it was supposed to be.

It seems to work now, although it\\u2019s rather steep and a difficult ride for bicyclists, which is rather a shame, because it is a bicycle and pedestrian bridge only. There are no cars on it.

The Bicycle Snake and the Brewing Bridge a little further down the harbor are also just for cyclists and walkers, and so is the Little Langebro bridge.
