7 days in Strasbourg Itinerary

Strasbourg is famous for its beautiful historical center, the Grande Île, which was the first city center classified entirely as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Strasbourg is one of the nine largest cities in France with nearly half a million inhabitants in the metropolitan area crossing the river to the German city of Kehl, on the eastern bank of the Rhine River.

Venture out of the city with trips to Œuvre de la cathédrale (in Metz), Parc Animalier de Sainte-Croix (in Rhodes) and Place Stanislas (in Nancy). The adventure continues: take a stroll through La Petite France, make a trip to Barrage Vauban, walk around Parc de l'Orangerie, and stop by Little Venice.
