Quartier Européen - Orangerie
0.9 miles from downtown
Strikingly modern. This area exudes the cool air of diplomacy, its litter-free streets lined with geometric glass façades. As the centre of European Parliament, it’s not uncommon to see diplomats lunching between sessions in Orangerie Park. The park’s mini zoo and mini farm mean the diplomatic quarter is not strictly for grown-ups.

City-Centre - Petite France
In downtown
Fancy seeing all of France in one day? See the Alsatian half-timbered houses and quaint bridges in an area known as “La Petite France”. Admire the Notre Dame de Strasbourg Cathedral at its centre, then branch out and explore the side streets. In late November, Place Broglie transforms into the annual Christmas Market, laden with wintery treats.

Strasbourg Train Station
0.4 miles from downtown
This area may be small, but it packs a mighty wallop! Fly through the Strasbourg Museum of Modern Art on Place Hans Jean Arp for your fill of Euro-art. Afterwards, learn about the art of spending at Les Halles, a mega-mall filled with high-street brands. The music never stops at “La Laiterie”, Strasbourg’s best fancy-pants night-spot.

Bourse-Esplanade
0.6 miles from downtown
Central city living. Steep-roofed town houses blend with uniform apartment blocks, and a lively blend of professionals and students live side by side. Bourse-Esplanade includes the area of La Krutenau, known for its distinctive Alsatian houses. On Wednesdays, visit the Place de Zurich market for black cherries, freshly picked from the Black Forest.

Robertsau
2.3 miles from downtown
A touch of nature. Old houses blend with bureaucratic buildings, set to a backdrop of verdant greenery. Discover the Parc de Pourtalès enclosed by Robertsau Forest by foot or bike. Check out the 19th century Chateau de Pourtalès, the architectural splendour of the European Human Rights Court, or take a canalside walk.

About Strasbourg
Including tips for the best time to visit Strasbourg
Strasbourg is the capital of France's Alsace region, and its proximity to Germany creates a unique blend of cultures. Its UNESCO-listed center, the Grande Île, features incredible medieval architecture, but the old town's centerpiece is the Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame, with its stone gargoyles, astronomical clock, and stained-glass windows. The center is famously pedestrian-friendly, perfect to explore either on foot or bike. When night falls over the lantern-lit alleys, all lined with timber-framed houses, the city takes on a fairytale air.
Learn all about Strasbourg's rich history with a visit to the Palais Rohan – an 18th-century palace now home to three museums: the Musée des Beaux-Arts (Museum of Fine Arts), Musée Archéologique (Archaeological Museum), and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Museum of Decorative Arts). Don't miss the nearby Historical Museum, featuring exhibits on the city's early medieval days up until the founding of the European Union.
Strasbourg's magical atmosphere reaches its peak from November through December when the winter markets appear. They've been held in the city for four centuries and sell Alsatian Christmas decorations, artisinal crafts, and local specialities like "Kougelhopf" (a sweet bread filled with raisins) and Muenster cheese.

A lovely city with beautiful architecture, shops, dining, and various attractions. The location is convenient to explore the surrounding countryside with many historic sites. Excellent food and wine.

Strasbourg is a gem of a city and easily reached from Paris by TGV. Sadly, we were there over Easter, which meant that many of the museums were closed. We loved the horloge astronomique and the cathedral. The Museum of Modern Art was much loved by my artist nephew and I enjoyed a ride round the old city on the Little Train.
We had 2 nights in Strasbourg which was just right for us.
April 10, 2025
We had 2 nights in Strasbourg which was just right for us. We had the boat ride, which had a commentary in all different languages as did the 2 little trains that go around different parts of the city. Of course, don’t miss the Cathedral and its stain glass windows and very unusual clock. If you’re fit, climb up the tower for beautiful views. So much history, beautiful buildings and streets. We parked in Gutenberg underground carpark which was 4 minutes from the hotel. Pricey, but worth it.
Strasbourg is a charming city, with a lot to do and see.

Strasbourg is a charming city, with a lot to do and see. It is also a great place to base out of and do day trips via rail to other close by cities, such as Colmar. It has delicious restaurants and bakeries. We took a Segway tour around the city and we were able to see and learn about many areas of the city that may have been hard to see all of them on foot. We wish we had more time to explore the Petite France area. The area around the cathedral was nice and safe. Explore the cathedral and the astronomical clock, fascinating story about the clock, check on the times it goes off and watch the movie. I loved this city, full of architectural charm and delicious eclairs. The best bakery was Au Pain de mon Grand-Pere (best eclairs), around the corner from the Strasbourg Cathedral.
Really pretty city and easily accessible.
April 1, 2025
Really pretty city and easily accessible. Our daughter had worked briefly at the EU and had recommended us to visit. Don't know why we haven't been before because it's an easy location to reach from London on the Eurostar to Paris and change to Strasbourg and a good base for visiting other places.
Beautiful but overly expensive city.
March 25, 2025
Beautiful but overly expensive city. Easily seen in one day. I would recommend a 4 day stay to see everything calmly, and to use one day to rent a car and explore the nearby villages of Colmar, Ribeauvillé, etc.
