Description

Strasbourg & the Alsace by Eurostar Train Holiday.  5 days from £479 with Travelsphere.   This superb short break takes you to the delightful cosmopolitan city of Strasbourg, capital of the Alsace region and situated between the River Rhine and the Voges Mountains. Influenced by both Germany and France it is a fascinating city with plenty to offer. We include an orientation tour and a visit to picturesque Colmar and offer an excursion along the Alsace Wine Road.

Dominated by its magnificent Gothic cathedral, Strasbourg is a city rich in architectural history. The hub of the city is the old quarter located on an island, where beautifully preserved half-timbered houses line the narrow streets and river banks. Much of the centre is pedestrianised and the picturesque area around ‘La Petite France’ is home to a wonderful choice of shops, bars and restaurants.
