Goethe's Monument is situated on the Place de l'Universite. It was constructed in memory of the years that "Germany's greatest man of letters" spent in Strasbourg.

Le pont Kennedy takes it's name because of its location in the vicinity of the Consulate of the United States. It is also known as the "Four Men's Bridge", because it is surrounded by four monumental sculptures in sandstone, each representing a worker in action.

Place de la République is located in the un-official "German" district of Strasbourg. It serves as the junction between the historic city and new city and is surrounded by prestigious buildings that include the National Theatre, the University Library of Strasbourg and the Palais du Rhin. The "A Nos Morts" monument that sits in this square was erected in 1936 in memory of the children who died during World War I.

The Monument au Général Leclerc, situated in the Broglie square, was constructed in memory of Philippe Leclerc, the famous World War II French general.

It is well worth taking time to visit the Place Kleber which is the biggest square in the heart of the city’s commercial district. The square has been a central meeting place since it was laid out in the 14th century and it took its name in 1840 after the General Jean Baptiste Kleber, whose statue stands in the center of the square. The statue was erected in 1838 by Philippe Grass. The general’s remains are in a vault under the statue. The general served in Napoleon’s army during the campaign in Egypt in 1798 and 1799. When Napoleon returned to Paris, he named the general Commander of the French Forces. Kleber was assassinated in 1800 in Cairo. His body was repatriated and kept in the Chateau d’If off the Marseille coast until being interred in his native Strasbourg thirty years later. An interesting building along the north side of the square is the Aubette, built in 1772 by Jacque-François Blondel. Once a military post, it was given its name in the 19th century, from the dawn (aube) changing of the guard. In 1928 the artists Jean Arp, Theo van Doesburg and Sophie Taeuber-Arp decorated the dance hall; this work of art is called the “Sistine Chapel of Abstract Art” The Aubette today is a leisure center that often holds art exhibitions. One part of the building has been a shopping mall since 2008.

One destination that should be on your “must see” list is the Place Gutenberg which lies in the center of medieval Strasbourg, not far from the Cathedral.

This large square is a favorite for locals and tourists alike as it has a lot of excellent cafés and restaurants. The Chamber of Commerce building occupies one side of the square and is easily recognizable with its Renaissance style, but with the sloping roof that is typical of Alsace, where winter snow is a way of life.

There is a 16th century hotel on the square where Arthur Young was staying when revolutionists destroyed the city’s magistrates records and where today art exhibitions are held on the ground floor. Another attraction is the flea markets that often set up around the statue in the center of the square.

This is a statue dedicated to Johannes Gutenberg; it was sculpted by David d’Angers in 1840 and features the famous printer holding a piece of parchment on which is inscribed the words “Et la lumière fut” (And behold, there was light) from the Book of Genesis. Around the base of the statue bas reliefs depict notable scenes from Gutenberg’s life.

Not many people know that apart from being the inventor of the first mechanical, movable printing press in Europe in 1439 and the publisher of the Gutenberg Bible in 1455, Gutenberg lived in Strasbourg between 1434 and 1444, where he was an apprentice goldsmith, set to follow in his father’s footsteps.

Place de la Cathédrale in Strasbourg is surrounded by a variety of buildings of different architectural styles. There is a legend, according to which there is always a wind blowing around the Cathedral.

Place du Marché-aux-Cochons-de-Lait is considered to be a truly charming square that definitely deserves to be visited. It is surrounded by different types of houses.
