Tour description
Straddling the Rhine on the border of France and Germany, Strasbourg is a city of two cultures and one enchanting old town, wrapped in canals and crowned by one of the greatest cathedrals in Europe. On this walking tour a local guide unravels the fascinating history of a city that has changed hands many times and today serves as a capital of the European Union.
You will stand beneath the rose-coloured cathedral with its astronomical clock, wander the fairy-tale half-timbered lanes of Petite France, and cross the covered bridges of the old tanners' district. Charming, walkable and deliciously Franco-German, Strasbourg feels like a storybook come to life.
