This medieval district, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988 provides a setting for the city’s many monuments and unmissable tourist sights, including the Petite France neighbourhood and its famous half-timbered houses, the Covered Bridges (classified as Historical Monuments), its many museums, and Strasbourg’s Cathedral.
