"Pulteney Bridge seems like the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. It's lined with shops (they range from boutique stores to cafes and even an art gallery) on both sides.
Pulteney Bridge was designed by Robert Adam and completed back in the 18th century. It's named after Frances Pulteney, the wife of William Johnstone, who was the bridge's original developer.
From the bridge, you also get a lovely view of the Pulteney Weir, a small waterfall and cascade that adds to the scenic beauty of the river. Its primary purpose is to control the water level of the river and create a picturesque waterfall effect.
📷 Instagram spot: the play of light on the water, combined with the historic backdrop of the bridge and buildings, makes it an ideal spot for capturing memorable images. "

Designed by Robert Adam in the 18th century, this iconic bridge not only connects both sides of the river but also hosts charming shops, creating a scenic and atmospheric experience for pedestrians and admirers alike."

""One of the most photographed examples of Georgian architecture in the city and one of only four bridges in the world to have shops across its full span on both sides, Pulteney Bridge was designed in 1769 by Robert Adam." - Visit Bath
