A unique blend of Franco-Germanic cultures, fantastic scenery, quaint towns and exciting nightlife make the small Alsace region a magnet for visitors seeking a rewarding holiday experience.
The regional capital of Strasbourg has featured prominently in European politics and boasts some fine attractions. The beautiful La Petite France showcases classic examples of 16th century wooden architecture and the renowned 13th century Pillier des Anges. Other highlights include the Cathedrale de Notre Dame, Musee de l'Oeuvre Notre Dame, place de la Republique, Museum of Contemporary and Modern Art, Musee Alsacien, Palais Rohan, and Palais de l'Europe. The city's two main squares, place Kleber and place Gutenburg, were home to the seats of the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights. The city also features fine cuisine and a range of exciting nightlife.
South of Strasbourg is the picturesque town of Colmar, famed for its Gothic architecture and museums. The former Dominican convent is now the site of the incredible Musee d'Unterlinden with its unsurpassed collection of Gothic art featuring works by Matthais Grunewald. Explore the narrow winding streets absorbing the atmosphere of the Gothic period buildings and marvel at the famous Isenheim Alterpiece.
The best way to discover the beauty of the surrounding countryside, towns and villages is to take the scenic Route du Vin, or 'Wine Route', which follows the base of the magnificent Vosges mountain range. Sample the vineyards and experience the traditional, unspoiled culture of the Alsacien people.
Nearby, nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts can explore the splendour of the Black Forest and the peaks and valleys of the Vosges Mountains. Alsace is particularly enchanting in the winter, with a variety of events and festivals taking place.
Strasbourg's International Airport serves direct international flights from many cities. Transportation options into the city are frequent and reliable.
