Experts' Choice Award Pont Couverts
What the experts agree on
Medieval trio of bridges crowned with four imposing towers spanning the Ill River's branching waterways. Once covered wooden structures, now iconic photo spot blending Strasbourg's French-German heritage in atmospheric Petite France.
“These three bridges span the different branches of the River Ill. Each is protected by a massive square tower which, along with the old covered wooden bridges, once formed a part of the 14C ramparts.”
