Überblick

Strasbourg (Grand Est) is one of France's most rewarding destinations: Alsace's canal-ringed capital on the Grande Île, where a 142-meter pink-sandstone Gothic cathedral spire towers over half-timbered Petite France.

Getting here and moving around is straightforward: SNCF TGV InOui or Ouigo from Paris Gare de l'Est in 1h46, or direct TER from Colmar (30 min) and Frankfurt/Stuttgart via DB-SNCF. Once in town, rely on CTS Strasbourg trams (Lines A–F) and walkable UNESCO Grande Île core.

Sehenswürdigkeiten & Aktivitäten

  • Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg: Marvel at the 15th-century Astronomical Clock (daily 12:30 PM performance) and climb the 332-step platform.
  • La Petite France & Ponts Couverts: 16th-century tanners' houses with geranium-draped balconies reflected in the Ill River locks.
  • Palais Rohan & Musée Alsacien: Three museums in an 18th-century prince-bishops' palace plus traditional Alsatian folk interiors.
  • Batorama Canal Boat Tour & European Quarter: 70-minute glass-top boat loop from medieval locks to the European Parliament.

Lokale Küche & Spezialitäten

  • Tarte Flambée (Flammekueche): Paper-thin wood-fired dough topped with crème fraîche, fromage blanc, thinly sliced onions, and smoked lardons.
  • Choucroute Garnie d'Alsace: Riesling-braised sauerkraut piled with knack sausages, smoked pork belly, and potatoes at a historic winstub.
  • Baeckeoffe & Bretzel: Three-meat Alsatian Riesling casserole slow-baked in a lute-sealed ceramic terrine.
