The Ponts Couverts are a historic set of three bridges and four defensive towers located at the western edge of La Petite France. Built in the 13th century, they were part of Strasbourg's medieval fortifications designed to protect the city. These structures offer great views of the Ill River and the surrounding old town.

Plan to spend around 30 minutes here.
