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!

Strasbourg's historic neighborhood is a serene collection of cobblestone roads, fine restaurants and 16th-century buildings.

Strasbourg's historic district La Petite France is gorgeous, complete with canals, bridges and half-timbered architecture.Just what you would expect to see in a "Once Upon A Time" fairy tale. Don't miss this area when in Strasbourg.
4. Musee historique de la Ville de Strasbourg

Reviewed By schvitzNewYorkCity - New York City, United States
And it IS an interesting story. We knew nothing of the city's history other than it came French at some point. This nicely organized museum puts meat on that bone. Strasbourg's history as a free city, effectively a republic, until Louis XIV made it French, is a remarkable story. Definitely worth a visit.

Make sure you get onto the roof terrace of the barrage - you get a great view of old Strasbourg and of Petit France.
8. Pont Couverts

Reviewed By catrionah707 - Teddington, United Kingdom
Pont Couvert has great views across Barrage Vauban - and equally the best views of Pont Couvert are from Barrage Vauban. It gets pretty busy during the day, but worth getting up early before anyone else is there, to see the sunrise (or stay late to watch the sunset).
