Quick Summary:

  • The capital of France’s Grand Est region, Strasbourg is a popular place for travelers of all ages.
  • There’s so much to see and do in this beautiful and historic city - which is extremely well known for being the home of the European Parliament (EP).
  • Some of the main attractions you shouldn’t miss in addition to the EP are the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg, Place Gutenberg, and the charming streets of the Petite France District.
  • Of course, no vacation is complete without trying out the local cuisine so we’ve added a couple of restaurants and cafes you shouldn’t miss to our list as well.
