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.

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.
2. La Petite France

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.
3. Little Venice
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5,798 reviews
The « little Venice » is the name given to the course of the Lauch in Colmar. This name probably came from the original line of the houses on both sides of the river, which serves the southeast of the city. This district starts behind the Koïfhus, goes through the fishmonger's district and to the bridges Turenne and Saint-Pierre. It is therefore at the beginning of the Krutenau, whose etymology refers to places of market gardening on the outskirts of the towns. Originally inhabited by a rural community of wine-producers, market gardeners and boatmen, the Krutenau stretches out around the Turenne Street that the marshal took in 1674 for his triumphant entry in the city. Boat rides are possible there.

This is a key area of Colmar and contains a small river (canal) that runs through it - this was because the market gardeners in the past used to grow their produce outside the city and then brought it in in small boats You can take a small boat and cruise the area and get a different view of the old town houses

Reviewed By K5697PTrobinf - Virton, Belgium
In this village, you can find amazing streets, a lot of typical food shops, souvenir shops and a Christmas shoo which is opened the all year (but is quite expensive). There are also several places for the wine tasting and where you can also buy wine. There are a lot of restaurants but most of the time you can't reserve a table /!\ It's quite difficult to park and it's not free most of the time. For a free parking, it's better to go in the bottom of the village. During Christmas time, there is a Christmas market. Around the village, it's full of vineyard.
