Strasbourg: The Don'ts of Visiting Strasbourg, France

Just a little tip from a local : every first sunday of the month, museums are free ! Thanx for enjoying our lovely city :)

Precision: you can also go on the roof of the cathedral. It's on the side, there is an entrance. You have to buy a ticket, then you can climb the stairs (you'd better be in good physical condition) and then you have a good view of all the city. When you visit the European Parliament, there is also a rooftop. Don't hesitate to ask how to go there!

As an Alsatian citizen, living in a village just at Strasbourg’s fringe, I really enjoyed your presentation of my beautiful city !!! Thank you so much for liking it. I hope you won’t bother if I use your video to send to some of my foreign friends to show them why they HAVE to come 🥰

I live in Strasbourg and think you did a very good précis of our beautiful city. After 15 years here I can never get over how pretty it is.

Hi, I am from Strasbourg and I really enjoyed your tour. Just a precision, Paris is now 1h45 from there. And finding a place to stay is in fact expensive, but you can eat really good food for little money, just stay out of the touristy restaurants

I wouldn't ignore the fact that Strasbourg lies right on the edge of the border to Germany. There's even a streetcar crossing the border. Switzerland is also nearby. Explore the beautiful countryside in Alsace ( the Vosges ), Germany ( Black Forest ) and Switzerland ( Jura ).

Maybe its because I'm from a notoriously rainy part of Europe that I love European cities on a wet winters evening. Its something to do with the buildings lit up from the inside shining in the gloom that makes them so beautiful and welcoming. That shot of the square you showed a few times made me so wimsical.

I live in the center of Strasbourg and I've always lived in Alsace, and I must say that all my college friends coming from other cities in France keep telling me how great Strasbourg is to live in, how nice it is to live in Alsace. You ca enjoy it during all seasons, the summers are hot, the winter are cold and most of the time snowy, you got aaaa loooot to do all around in Alsace, you can hike in the Vosges (old mountains forming the natural west frontier of Alsace, you can also go in Germany and enjoy all you can there (cheaper alcohol, the Black Forest (also old mountains, in the East this time), the food, everything). I like to say that the greatest thing with Strasbourg is that it is a "small big city". You got all the advantages of living in a big city, but it is actually quite small, you don't feel oppressed, and you are like 30 minuts away from being in the country side, with a lot of other towns and wonderful villages to visit. My advice would be : rent a car if you can afford it and go visit the countryside villages and the towns, like Obernai, Colmar, Selestat, go near the Vosges, go visit our great middle-age castles, all the culture you can find ! Alsace is so dense you have a lot to see. I've lived here all my life, 22 years, and I still have a lot of things to discover, rediscover during other seasons, and more.. Come to Alsace, and enjoy !!! PS : it can be expensive depending on where in the world you come from but it is actually quite cheaper than other cities in France, for example a lot cheaper than Paris (maybe not during Christmas time, I have to aknowledge).

As a German from Freiburg I recommend to visit a game of the Racing Club de Strasbourg, the blue and white pride of the city! You'll love the atmosphere when the Blues are taking the field.

I'm living in Strasbourg for already 3 years now and I love this city. It is wonderful and I still feel like a tourist here, with so much to see and enjoy. It truly is an amazing place, and all the region around it has much to offer (both in France and in Germany)!

I'm living in Freiburg for the next year for school. I can't wait to be in this part of Europe.

Ah - we need to go back - it’s a heritage town as my grandfather was Alsatian (my great/great uncle was a Bishop of the cathedral!) - my don’ts are “don’t forget the Tour de France goes through here (at least it used to, and it makes for a bit of inconvenience) and be prepared and fit if you climb the cathedral stairs to the top!

I live close to Straßbourg (but in Germany) and it's by far my favourit city I've ever been to. I come to Straßbourg literaly every week and I was never bored and always discover new places. For example the new rhine harbor, the German imperial district, the district where the local university is located in (Krutenau). It's so fuckin beautiful. Also a quick tip: In the Gran Rue there is the best record store i've ever been to (33&co)

Hi Wolter. Your guides are excellent,but I'm surprised when you spoke about day trips you didnt mention the closer options like doing the wine route visiting amazing little towns like Bergheim and Obernai, and of course Colmar. Anyway keep the great channel!

Strasbourg is not expensive if you know where to go ;) If you know the right adresses you can't drinks for cheap If you are hungry there are actually sooooooo many different restaurants of all kind for all budgets:) Don't hesitate to ask strasbourg people around:) Sincerly , a Strasbourger <3

I lived in Strasbourg for a year. Best year of my life. I miss it. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Mark, a nice trick, the EU parlement move between Brussels and Strasbourg. The hotels near the parlement are very affordable when the parlement is sitting in Brussels.

Wow!!! Impressive!! I'm going to live one year as a student in this city... Can't wait!

I worked 3 years at the musée Alsacien (in the collections). Best years of my life !

I would recommend a hotel on the German side of the Rhine (Kehl, Offenburg, Durbach) and then visit Straßburg, but return in the evening. Everything is much cheaper there (restaurants, beer...).
