Strasbourg France

Situated right on the border of Germany, the sophisticated city of Strasbourg has been passed back and forth between Germany and France for hundreds of years. Today, it stands as a symbol of reconciliation between nations. In 1955, it was selected as the home of the European Parliament. Despite its cosmopolitan nature, Strasbourg still maintains a thoroughly Alsatian look, with its half-timbered houses, covered bridges, and flower-lined canals. Begin your tour at the captivating Gothic cathedral, where its light, open spire towers over the city's historic core. While waiting for the delightful display of the astronomical clock, make sure to see the Pilier des Anges, a pinnacle of Gothic sculpture. Opposite the cathedral are the elegant 18th-century Château des Rohan, which houses a porcelain, archaeology, and fine arts museum, and the Maison de l’Oeuvre Notre-Dame, a vast collection of medieval and Renaissance art. For a taste of local culture, visit the Musée Alsacien. During the summer, there are folklore and music programs, and a stroll along the quays of La Petite France, the old quarter, is best enjoyed on a warm summer night. Experience the delicious Alsatian cuisine at one of the many riverside restaurants.
