3 days in Strasbourg Itinerary

Strasbourg is famous for its beautiful historical center, the Grande Île, which was the first city center classified entirely as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Strasbourg is one of the nine largest cities in France with nearly half a million inhabitants in the metropolitan area crossing the river to the German city of Kehl, on the eastern bank of the Rhine River.

Venture out of the city with trips to Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg (in Orschwiller), Little Venice (in Colmar) and La Montagne des Singes (in Kintzheim). There's much more to do: stop by La Petite France, get engrossed in the history at Alsatian Museum, walk around Parc de l'Orangerie, and admire the landmark architecture of Gare de Strasbourg.

For traveler tips, other places to visit, where to stay, and tourist information, refer to the Strasbourg holiday planner.

In September, plan for daily highs up to 25°C, and evening lows to 12°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 6th (Thu) to allow time to travel back home.
