Canals, Culture & European Heart
A pedestrian- and bike-friendly old town, centred around the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Notre-Dame Cathedral of Strasbourg.
Stroll along the riverbanks in the charming Petite France district and explore highlights such as the Strasbourg Museum of Fine Arts.
Strasbourg sits at the crossroads of Europe, serving as a vital link between countries and home to key institutions of the European Union.
More than canals and charm, Strasbourg delivers at every turn.
There are 10 km of cycle paths within the city walls and 85 km of cycle paths along the Rhine. In all, 500 km of cycle paths are available.
Strasbourg, the “Capital of Christmas,” and the surrounding Alsace villages dazzle with festive lights, charming stalls, and seasonal treats—an enchanting holiday experience.
More Than Just Wine
Explore nearly 300 wineries set among charming villages, where scenic landscapes, local cuisine, and cultural treasures make the journey as memorable as the wine itself.
The Grand Est region is dotted with picturesque villages full of history:
