As the capital of the historical region of Alsace, which has belonged alternately to both France and Germany over the centuries, Strasbourg has developed a distinct identity all of its own.
Nestled on the Rhine across the border from Germany, Strasbourg offers your best chance to experience the urban side of France’s Alsace region.
Some of the major attractions of the city include: Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg, the Parc de l’Orangerie, La Petite France, Musee Alsacien, Centre-Ville de Strasbourg, Barrage Vauban, Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame, and Église Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune.
