We’ll kick off this fascinating tour at Place Kléber, the beating heart of Strasbourg. During the Christmas season, this place turns into a magical setting dominated by its imposing Christmas tree, a symbol of the city’s tradition and festive spirit. Under its bright lights, we’ll kick off our adventure through the most iconic corners of Strasbourg.

From here, we’ll head to the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, a jewel of Gothic art that dominates the skyline with its 142-meter-high tower. Upon entering, you’ll be amazed by the multicolored light that passes through its medieval stained glass windows, and you’ll be surprised by the astronomical clock, a masterpiece of Renaissance engineering that offers a spectacle of precision at certain times of the day.

We’ll then head to the Palais Rohan, a majestic 18th-century residence that once housed princes and cardinals. Today, its elegant halls host museums like the Fine Arts and Decorative Arts. Here, your guide will share fascinating anecdotes about historical figures like Marie Antoinette and Napoleon, who left their mark on this iconic palace.

Our walk will then take us to the Covered Bridges, a set of ancient medieval structures that were once protected by wooden roofs. As you gaze at the defensive towers and canals that crisscross the historic quarter, you’ll discover their importance in Strasbourg’s defense and urban evolution.

Finally, we’ll arrive at the charming neighborhood of La Petite France, one of the most picturesque places in the city. This old neighborhood of fishermen, tanners, and millers is known for its half-timbered houses, cobbled streets, and romantic canals. Walking through its narrow streets is like stepping into a medieval tale, full of history and charm.

We’ll wrap up the tour in the heart of La Petite France, an idyllic spot where you can soak up the calm, the reflection of the water, and the traditional architecture that make this one of the most beautiful places in Strasbourg.
