About
Strasbourg, the capital of France’s Alsace region, is a city where French and German cultures beautifully intertwine, creating a unique charm found nowhere else in Europe. Famous for its breathtaking Gothic Cathedral of Notre-Dame, its storybook quarter of La Petite France with half-timbered houses along winding canals, and its role as the official seat of the European Parliament, Strasbourg blends history, politics, and culture seamlessly. The city’s cuisine reflects its dual heritage with specialties like choucroute garnie and tarte flambée, while its festive spirit shines brightest at Christmastime, when Strasbourg transforms into the “Capital of Christmas” with one of Europe’s oldest and most magical markets. Whether you’re drawn to its medieval charm, cosmopolitan energy, or rich gastronomy, Strasbourg offers an experience that feels both timeless and distinctly European.
