City tour / walk Strasbourg

Idyllic half-timbered streets, cozy wine taverns and, of course, the impressive cathedral make a visit to this historic city an experience. Due to the seat of numerous European institutions, such as the Council of Europe, the European Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights, a political wind also blows through the border city on the Rhine. The entire city center of Strasbourg was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 due to its diverse architectural heritage. On Republic Square you can admire the Rhine Palace, the National Library and the Opera. Afterwards, stroll through the picturesque Tanners' Quarter.

Your guide will explain at length the special features of the cathedral and numerous interesting stories about its construction and architecture. In the cathedral itself, things get exciting: you are there when the astronomical clock strikes the "full" hour and different figures breathe life into the clock. After the tour of the cathedral there will be some free time. The bus, which is already waiting for you nearby, will then take you back to the ship.
