16 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Strasbourg side-trips: Mulhouse (Cité du Train - Musée français du chemin de fer & Musee National de l’Automobile – Collection Schlumpf), Nancy (Parc de la Pepiniere & Place Stanislas) and Colmar (House of Heads, Old Town, &more). There's still lots to do: take a stroll through La Petite France, don't miss a visit to Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg, pause for some serene contemplation at Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg, and brush up on your military savvy at Fort De Schoenenbourg.
