Itinerary

1

Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg

From the outside, this Gothic gem impresses you with its 142-meter tower (it was the tallest in the world for centuries). Its facade is covered with sculptures that tell biblical stories, and its central rose window is an explosion of color and geometry. The pink sandstone changes its tone according to daylight. A masterpiece that dominates the old town!

2

Maison Kammerzell

Just opposite the cathedral, this 15th-century house stands out for its half-timbered architecture and loaded decoration: carved wood sculptures, stained glass windows, and high, pointed ceilings. It is one of the best preserved medieval houses in the city and a magnificent example of the German Renaissance.

3

Palais Rohan

A majestic 18th-century classicist building that was the residence of prince-bishops. Its symmetrical facade, elegant and sober, contrasts with the Gothic richness of the cathedral. From the outside you can see the carved stone details and its wide windows that reflect the aristocratic past of Strasbourg.

4

Barrage Vauban

An impressive defensive structure from the 17th century. From the outside it looks like an arched dam that allows water to pass through and controlled flooding. You can climb to its terrace to see a spectacular view of Petite France and the covered bridge towers.

5

Place Kleber

After a brief introduction to the most important square in Strasbourg, we will start the activity.

6

Place Gutenberg

A large square dedicated to the inventor of the printing press, with his statue standing in the center. Around, neoclassical buildings and half-timbered houses. A Christmas wheel and a lively market are also usually installed here. It is a vibrant point between history and local life.

7

La Petite France

Strasbourg’s most picturesque neighborhood, with its half-timbered houses and sloping ceilings, flowery balconies and canals that cut across it all. From the outside, it looks like something out of a story. Here lived millers, tanners and fishermen. It's the romantic heart of the city
