1. Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 14,746 reviews
This huge cathedral, Strasbourg's most famous landmark, is an intimidating example of 13th-century Gothic architecture.
Reviewed By garryh702 - Port Coquitlam, Canada
From your first glimpse of the magnificent structure from blocks away to the breath-taking view when you enter the square surrounding this gigantic almost-eerie Gothic monument, it is truly overwhelming and awe-inspiring. My opinion is that it surpasses it's namesake - Notre Dame in Paris. Inside, the huge rose window, the pipe organ, the astrological clock all are simply amazing - especially when you consider they are all 5 or 6 centuries old.

This was a great museum to show example of the Alsacien area and period. The exhibits brought to life the life-style and daily activities of the people in a real life setting. A very worth while museum and worth a visit for sure!

Reviewed By Sindel72 - Madrid, Spain
One of things you must see in Strasburg. Unique piece of engineering that masters watch movement and astronomy. Buy the tickets first in the church for a visit that allows you to see the 12:30 movement action. It’s the chance to ser the first “computer” built in 1840. Absolutely, amazing.

Elegant 18th-century palace houses three museums: Musee des Beaux Arts, Musee Archeologique and Musee des Arts Decoratifs.

Rohan Palace is next to the Strasbourg Notre Dame Cathedral and houses the Museum of Fine Art (European paintings from the Middle Ages to 1870), the Archeological Museum (Alsatian history from 600,000 BC to 800 AD), and the Rohan Palace rooms (bishops, cardinals residence of the House of Rohan, an ancient French noble family). The first Sunday of every month is free, but the headsets are not free and everything is not available to see. We were happy with all that we viewed on the free Sunday we visited. The Art museum hours are 10 am to 6 pm Tuesday -Sunday, they are closed on Mondays. The Archaeology & Palace/Decorative Arts museums hours are Wed-Sat 2 pm-6 pm, closed on Tuesdays. The fee/admission is 6.5-7 Euros for each museum. There was an option for all three that was 12 or 13 Euros.
