Itinerary
1
Place Kleber
We begin at the beating heart of Strasbourg, a grand square that has witnessed revolutions, markets and celebrations for over 600 years. Your guide — look for the red or blue umbrella — will introduce the city and set the scene for the journey ahead.
10 minutes
2
Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg
We admire the breathtaking Gothic facade of one of the tallest cathedrals in the world, built over 300 years from pink Vosges sandstone. We discover the stories behind its legendary astronomical clock, its rose window, and the gargoyles that have watched over the city since the Middle Ages.
20 minutes
3
Palais de Rohan
We pass by the former residence of the powerful Rohan cardinals, a masterpiece of French classical architecture. Today it houses three world-class museums. We uncover the remarkable political and religious figures who shaped this city's destiny from these very walls.
5 minutes
4
Place Gutenberg
We stop at this elegant square to discover the legacy of Johannes Gutenberg, who invented the printing press right here in Strasbourg. A story that changed the world — and very few travelers know it happened here.
5 minutes
5
La Petite France
We explore the most picturesque neighbourhood in Strasbourg: a 16th-century labyrinth of timber-framed houses, canals and cobblestone lanes. Once home to tanners, millers and fishermen, we reveal the real — and surprising — history behind this iconic postcard image.
20 minutes
6
Pont Couverts
We conclude the tour at Strasbourg's medieval defensive towers and the magnificent Vauban Dam, offering one of the finest panoramic views in all of Alsace. Your guide wraps up the story of the city here and this is where tips are warmly welcomed!
10 minutes
7
St. Thomas Church
We step inside one of the finest Romanesque-Gothic churches in Alsace, home to the monumental Silbermann organ — one of the most celebrated in Europe — and the remarkable mausoleum of Marshal de Saxe. A hidden gem that most visitors walk straight past.
