Known as Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg, this cathedral is simply a marvel in rock springing out of the pavement as you turn the corner to the little elderly houses described in the previous review.

Being a region with no earthquakes, the beautiful 300yr-old (or more) houses sprang up on the narrow streets, surrounding you and making you believe you’re living in the past
At least in the center of Strasbourg, the houses do not hide their age, because the original architecture was...

Strasbourg is a city I like very much, being quite inviting to enjoy its many attractions. No wonder its historical centre is classified as UNESCO World Heritage – where the Cathedral is the ex-libris point. I particularly like the inner astronomical clock – quite impressive. From outside the...

If you want to see the most charming part of Strasbourg - La Petite France - it is best to walk. La Petite France is an island surrounded by canals, pedestrian bridges and old timbered houses. I discovered that Strasbourg was quite a good city for shopping too, especially La Place des Halles...

Supposed to be a gift of famed leader of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, to his lady love, Josephine, the park is a gorgeous place to visit and relax with a good book or a good friend.

Was in Strasbourg and the first thing I had to visit was the Cathedral. It's right smack in the middle of the square so it's impossible to miss. The outside's gothic sculptures are pretty...

I visited the church of Siant Pierre le Jeune almost by chance - it was close to my way through Strasbourg and I decided - ok, let's see if the other churches in Strasbourg are also as nice as the Cathedral. And...yes, this church was a very nice place. On the outside it isn't anything special,...

Petite France meaning 'Little France" is one of the nicest quarters in Strasbourg. It is situated on some small islands and peninsulas in the channels of the river Ill, south-west from the city center. I don't know why it is called Petit France, since the houses there and the whole atmosphere...

Strasbourg is really one of the 10 nicest cities I have ever been and I have visited many cities around Europe. The city center has many pedestrian streets, it is full of people - both French and German as well as thousands of tourists. It is really a living city with well preserved buildings...

Two years ago, in winter, I visited Strasbourg. It had been on my travel list for a long time and my main goal was to visit the Pasteur museum, which was unfortunately closed.If you want to visit it, I recommend going at noon and only on weekdays.
I loved the shops in Strasbourg, but they...
