Grande Île (historic centre)
Ideal for: first visit, couples, seniors
Around the cathedral, everything is within walking distance. Very busy during the Christmas market season.
Strasbourg
Half-timbered houses, canals and European institutions, very popular in winter.
Strasbourg is compact and easy to explore on foot or by bike. The Christmas market season attracts huge crowds: book very early, or stay in a nearby town connected by train.
The city is also a good base to discover Alsace: Colmar, the wine-route villages, or a trip across the border to Germany.
