Strasbourg
Strasbourg is a border-crossing curiosity — a French city with a distinctly German-inflected old town, its half-timbered Petite France quarter and Gothic cathedral sitting just minutes from the Rhine and the German frontier. As the seat of the European Parliament, it's also one of the rare places where EU politics and canal-side medieval charm share the same postcode.

Frequently asked questions about Strasbourg
How do I get to Strasbourg?
Most travellers fly into Strasbourg Airport (SXB), a small regional airport in Entzheim, then take the short shuttle train (~10 minutes) to Strasbourg-Ville, the main rail station in the city centre; many international visitors instead arrive via TGV, since Strasbourg sits on the high-speed line connecting it to Paris and other major European hubs.
How many days should I spend in Strasbourg?
Plan on ~2-3 days to cover the historic centre, cathedral, and Petite France at an easy pace, with extra time if you want to venture into the wider Alsace wine region.
