Strasbourg sits perfectly at the crossroads of France and Germany, a geographical vantage point that has made it the official home of the European Parliament.
In Strasbourg, you’ll be roaming the old town’s twisted alleys that are lined with crooked half-timbered houses. You will feast in the cosiest of winstubs (Alsatian taverns) by the canals in Petite France, and marvel at the beautiful city doing Christmas markets and gingerbread so well that it could also be considered as home to the glittering EU Quarter and France’s second-largest student population. But that’s Strasbourg for you: all the sweeter for its contradictions and cross-cultural quirks.
