Stop arguing and go to Strasbourg, where you can have the best of French and German cuisine, including the booze. The entire central island is a World Heritage Site.

Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg

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!

Musee de l'OEuvre Notre-Dame

An art museum with a sampling of regional work completed between the 11th and 17th centuries.

Reviewed By ChrisL872 - Niles, United States

This is a very complete artistic history of the area and especially the local cathedral. Items date back 800-900 years and range from statuary to paintings to tapestries to gold and silver accessories. Plus much more. Multiple levels in the building, so plan to spend some time here. Easy to find as it is near the cathedral. Admission is low and for seniors (60 or over) it is cut in half.

Half protestant and half catholic, this is a very unusual church with plenty of interesting features. Parts of it are in real need of restoration, so worth a visit and helping to support.

Reviewed By editorgoodlifefrance - Kent, United Kingdom

Loved my tour of this ancient wine cellar and shop. They have the oldest bottle of white wine in the world here, dates to 1472. The tour is fascinating and you can buy some of the best local wines at a great price. A steady stream of locals came in to buy wine while I was there! A fascinating experience that's quirky and a bit off the beaten track - and all the better for it!

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.
