Discover the capital of Alsace
Strasbourg's city center is easily accessible by bike, just a few kilometers from the hostel. Park your bike and explore the historic heart of the city located on the Grande Île. It is a perfect example of the medieval past of the capital of Alsace and promises a trip back in time.
Here are 3 experiences to live in Strasbourg:
- Feel very small in front of Strasbourg's Notre Dame Cathedral, built in pink sandstone and with splendid stained glass windows. Its spire reaches the dizzying height of 142 meters. To admire the city from the panoramic platform, be prepared to climb no less than 330 steps!
- Stroll through the narrow streets of Little France. This is Strasbourg's postcard landscape and a condensation of typical Alsatian architecture. Marvel at the many flowery facades of the half-timbered houses and the beautiful iconic panorama from the Vauban dam.
- Enjoy the Alsatian gastronomy. During your stay, be sure to try some of the local specialties: a plate of sauerkraut, a hearty dish of spätzle, or a pretzel to enjoy on the go.
Explore the banks of the Rhine and cross the German border
Don't miss the unusual experience of making a short trip to Germany during your stay. To do so, nothing could be simpler: cross the Rhine on foot or by bike using the Beatus-Rhenanus Bridge and you are in Germany!
Back in France, why not explore the banks of the Rhine by bike? The banks of the river are well equipped for bicycles and promise the discovery of small Alsatian towns, as well as preserved natural areas. For example, the nature reserve of the Robertsau and La Wantzenau forests is a perfect place for a picnic in nature.
