If culture and history are more your thing, head for the Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg, a towering cathedral that soars over the city. The building’s carved exterior and beautiful stained-glass windows are a glorious example of traditional, early gothic architecture. Take a stroll around the cathedral, or walk to the top of the tower, but don’t forget to check out the astronomical clock, where carved statues of Christ and his apostles make a daily midday appearance. Other snap-worthy sights can be found at the Palais Rohan, an 18th Century French palace, home to three different museums.
Heading to Strasbourg in winter? You’re in for a treat. Around this time of year, Strasbourg’s bustling streets are filled with glittering Christmas markets, decorated trees, and twinkling lights as far as the eye can see. And what Christmas market would be complete without a festive feast? Juicy bratwurst. Traditional spiced breads. Warm mulled wine. All these delicious staples serve up a festive taste of authentic Germany.
Romantic getaway, city break, or even family holiday, Strasbourg is a glorious destination filled with great food, history and architecture.
