Strasbourg is the capital of the Alsace-Champagne-Ardenne-Lorraine region (Grand-Est) in the north-east of France. The city is also the official seat of the European Parliament. Located near the border with Germany, it sports German and French culture and architecture.
During your stay in Strasbourg, we recommend that you visit Notre-Dame Cathedral with its Gothic building and its astronomical clock. Then go to the Rohan Palace to contemplate an 18th century palace housing museums. To take a short break while continuing to stroll, you just have to walk in the picturesque district of the historic center of Strasbourg, Petite France. It has also been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988. You can observe the half-timbered houses and taste delicious dishes in one of the many Alsatian restaurants located there.
The obligatory passage to Strasbourg is the crossing of Grande-Île which is an urban island with historic buildings. And for visitors who really want to immerse themselves in the culture and traditions of Alsace, go to the Alsatian museum to discover everything.
