Blending German architecture with laid-back French charm, Strasbourg holidays ooze a combination of history and culture like no other city. Historically split between France and Germany, Strasbourg draws a distinct culture from both countries. The old town is a charming maze of cobbled streets and fountains, dotted with Gothic buildings, turrets and spires. Here you can find the iconic cathedral that dominates the skyline and houses some impressive relics from the past. Climb the 330 steps of the cathedral to watch the sun set over the rooftops from the 200ft-high observation deck. Gaze out at the
colourful facades and the Black Forest in the distance. Wander through the picturesque streets filled with restaurants, cafes and canals towards the La Petite France (medieval quarter), where you can enjoy traditional Alsatian cuisine and mulled wine in a candlelit restaurant. Strasbourg is a Christmas market hot spot, so you can soak up the festive atmosphere and browse local handicrafts during the snowy winter months. The cuisine is heavily influenced by Germanic traditions with dishes like sauerkraut, sausage and an excellent beer selection appearing on every menu. It won't be long before your Strasbourg holiday has you falling in love with this bewitching place.
