Mellah Slimane Footbridge
Passerelle Mellah-Slimane
A narrow pedestrian suspension bridge completed in 1925, linking the train station with the old Souika district. Crossing it offers a view down into a hundred-meter-deep gorge.
The Mellah-Slimane Footbridge, formerly known as the Perrégaux Bridge, is a pedestrian suspension bridge about 125 meters long and only 2.5 meters wide. It opened in 1925, and its deck sits roughly 100 meters above the valley floor. It connects the station side with an elevator exit leading into the Souika district of the old city. The bridge sways slightly as you walk, making it a great place to experience the “city of suspension bridges.” Free admission, pedestrians only. You can combine it with a walk through the old town of Souika and the Sidi Rached Viaduct.
