See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very frequent center and high prices in Christmas period. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Cathedral
Cathédrale Notre-Dame
The Notre Dame Cathedral in Strasbourg rises above the alleys with its pink sandstone facade, tight sculptures and unique arrow. Inside, the nave, stained glass and astronomical clock move attention from detail to height. The colour of the stone varies greatly depending on the light, especially at the end of the day in the square.
Neighbourhood
Petite France
Petite France reveals its character through the chaining of canals, narrow passages and brick facades. The exploration is more tasty by going beyond the first look, from dock to alley, and then going up to more remote areas. We read a compact urban life very photogenic without forcing the rhythm.
Bridge
Barrage Vauban et ponts couverts
The Vauban Dam and the covered bridges form a hydraulic and urban line essential to understand Strasbourg. Walking around the stream gives a clear logic of connections between neighborhoods. Bridges, corner views and reflections change according to traffic and light, which renews the scene at each passage.
Neighbourhood
Neustadt
The Neustadt shows Imperial Strasbourg through wide avenues, cossus buildings, gardens and public buildings around the Place de la République. The facades combine stone, domes, balconies and historic details on a very different scale from the Grande Île. The area is suitable for a careful walk between university, palaces and residential streets.
