3. Love Locks Bridge, Paris

The proper name of the bridge is the Pont Des Arts, but given the tourist tradition that was so commonplace until recently, this bridge was better known as Love Locks Bridge. A romantic destination, traveling couples made a tradition of putting a lock on the bridge as a symbol of their love.

Romantic? Well, that’s a bit of a matter of opinion, and the bridge had something to say about it. Under the weight of those millions of locks, the bridge began to suffer, and a portion of it collapsed in 2015. Authorities were forced to remove them, and no one has been allowed to leave the locks on the bridge. Probably for the better, really.
