How to get to Strasbourg?

Getting to Strasbourg is fairly simple!

Strasbourg-Ville train station sits right in the heart of the city. With the TGV Est Européen, Paris is just 1 hour 50 minutes from Strasbourg. Plus, thanks to its border location, Strasbourg is easily accessible from many major European cities such as Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, or Brussels.
If you’re coming by car from Paris, you can take the A4 heading east. Strasbourg is also well connected to other major French and European cities thanks to a dense highway network. Several long-distance bus companies also serve Strasbourg from various cities in France and other major European cities.
For cycling enthusiasts, Strasbourg is a key stop on the EuroVelo 15 route, known as “The Rhine Route,” which runs from the source of the Rhine in Switzerland to its mouth in the Netherlands.
Whichever way you choose to arrive in Strasbourg, you’ll be welcomed by a lively, warm city, proud of its Alsatian heritage and its role as a European crossroads.

What to do in Strasbourg?

How can you visit Strasbourg without seeing its majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral, whose spire seems to touch the sky? But wandering through Strasbourg also means happily losing yourself in the maze of cobblestone streets in the Petite France district, lined with half-timbered houses and crossed by charming canals. Visit the magnificent Maison Kammerzell, dating back to the 15th century, one of the most ornate and oldest buildings in the city.
The European Parliament, for its part, is a reminder of the city’s importance on the international stage. Strasbourg is also home to numerous museums, including the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the Alsatian Museum, and the Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame. The Decorative Arts, Fine Arts, and Archaeological museums are equally impressive, housed in the Rohan Palace. Walk across the covered bridges and the Vauban Dam and enjoy a lovely view from the dam’s terrace.
For a moment of leisure, relax at Parc de l’Orangerie, Jardin des Deux Rives, or Parc de Pourtalès. Don’t miss out on a tasty break, sampling a tarte flambée, a kouglof, choucroute, or a backeoffe in a “Winstub,” all emblems of Alsace’s rich culinary heritage — not to mention the wines of Alsace. In the evening, the banks of the Ill River light up, offering a romantic and peaceful atmosphere. There’s nothing better than a boat cruise to take it all in. If you visit Strasbourg in December, the Christmas markets are a must. The city is, in fact, nicknamed the “Capital of Christmas.”
