Get in ## Getting to Strasbourg Strasbourg has its own airport, however there are (relatively) nearby airports which have a wider range of destinations: 1. Strasbourg International Airport 2. Gare de Strasbourg The station, impressively renovated with a new glass cocoon frontage, is a short walk west of the town center. 3. Bus Drop off point for Flixbus, ALSA and BlablaCar Bus. See ## Worth seeing 1. Cathédrale Notre Dame Built between 1176 and 1439 and with a 142-m tower (the highest cathedral tower in France), the Gothic cathedral is undoubtedly Strasbourg's finest architectural highlight. 2. Maison Kammerzell 3. Palais des Rohan French-style palace, built after the acquisition of the town by the French (1681). 4. Musée Alsacien 5. Ponts Couverts The Ponts Couverts are three bridges dominated by four towers from the 12th and 14th centuries. Do ## Things to do Walking around the old town is a very nice way to pass a day. And there are lots of good cafes to stop and rest in as you make your tour. Boat tours along the Rhine offer views over both Strasbourg and neighbouring Germany. Batorama offer several river tours lasting from around 45 minutes to a few hours, costing around €10 per person. 45-min tours run around the town center and the European district. Eat ## Where to eat Alsatian specialties are numerous and can be eaten in many traditional restaurants, in the city or in the neighborhood. Particularly you shouldn't visit Alsace without having the sauerkraut (choucroute in French). Choucroute seems to have a standard price throughout Alsace of €14. 1. Au Brasseur Try one of their beers and a tarte flambé. 2. Flam's Serves a great variety of flams (tartes flambés) and has an amazing winelist for a budget joint. 3. L'Épicerie 6 Rue du Vieux Seigle,. 4. Le Frangin Two doors down from Flam's, it serves a wide range of home-cooked pasta and pizzas at reasonable prices. 5. Restaurant universitaire La Gallia The oldest university restaurant in France, in a 19th-century building, built by the Germans (which explains the ceiling decorations).
