Two Towns Linked By Sculpture Portal In Real Time
I was very impressed by the Vilnius–Lublin Portal that links Vilnius, Lithuania and Lubin, Poland.
Benediktas Gylys conceived the portal concept with the desire to unify and develop empathy in onlookers. The project is a joint venture between the Benediktas Gylys Foundation, the Cities of Vilnius and Lublin, and the latter's Center for Intercultural Creative Initiatives. The portal took five years to develop into its final form. Engineers from Vilnius Gediminas Technical University's Creativity and Innovation Center designed the portal. It was designed as a circle to recall themes of time and from science fiction. Each portal weighs 11 tons.

I'm sure readers can think of their own examples, but in many cases, there is really no "other portal" that is visible once you've gone through.
