How to Spend a Day in Strasbourg

Strasbourg sits in the northeastern corner of France in the territory of Alsace and reminds me very much of an idyllic little German town. Grab a paper map from the train station or bus depot and hit the streets! Pick your way around town following the cutest streets and quaint alleyways and beautiful canals.

How to Get to Strasbourg

I took an overnight Flixbus from Nice via Aix-en-Provence. While not the most luxurious form of spending the night, it does save a pretty penny on accommodations and it allows me to wake up in a new place the next day. Strasbourg is also well-serviced by a centrally located train station that you can access from many places around the country. It takes approximately 25 minutes to walk from the train station to the bus depot through town. A tram also offers speedy service around town if you’d prefer to get around that way.
