Strasbourg Cruises

Strasbourg’s Notre Dame Cathedral was built over a period of centuries, which means it offers an impressive blend of architectural styles ranging from medieval to gothic. There’s an amazing level of detailing both inside and out, particularly an ornate astronomical clock with its clever moving figures.

You’ll get the benefit of three museums in one when you visit the Palace Rohan, which enjoys a prime riverside position. Inside this complex you’ll find the Fine Arts, Archaeology, and Decorative Arts museums all featuring unique cultural gems.

Visit the modern European Parliament if you want insight into current European politics. Be sure to opt in to the headset tour to learn more about the Parliament building’s fascinating history. Afterwards, relax with a coffee in central Gutenberg Square which has long been a gathering place for political movers and shakers over the centuries.

Get away from it all and enjoy a moment of tranquillity in the city’s Botanical Gardens, which were founded in the late 1800s. You’ll see thousands of plant species, including tropical varieties of banana trees and lush ferns in the glasshouse. Or if you prefer animals, the Zoological Museum showcases a fascinating range of specimens collected by naturalist Jean Hermann.
