The aptly named “Pont de l’Europe” or “Europabrücke” between Strasbourg (France) and Kehl (Germany). This used to be a “proper” border with guards, and customs officers, and showing your passport. Then with the EU progressing, the controls became more lax and you only had to show your national ID document and often, you weren’t really checked at all.

Nowadays it’s just a bridge, there are no controls at all. Somewhere in the middle of the bridge is a sign denoting that you are entering from one country into the next. I would have liked to show that but it was impossible to take a photo in the totally jam-packed tram. Strasbourg and Kehl share a tramline (with announcements in both, French and German) and lots of people hop on in one country and get off in the other.
