Usually crowded on sunny days and summer, a beautiful place for a walk, close to a tram station. You can see astonishing buildings such as the national library, national theater and the Rhine palace. Great place to sit and spend some time

La Neustadt

A must when in Strasbourg. Enjoy the unique German architecture of the 19th century. Enjoy your walk through the streets of this area rich in History: After the defeat of France in 1870, the majority of the area faced extensive and serious damage. Germans planned to build an extension for the city and proposed completing the construction in five years. They were concerned about efficient infrastructure and wanted for the "Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine", an exemplary capital, grandiose, all to the glory of the Empire and Germanity. Thus, in April 1880, they approved the master plan of the new city, 386 hectares in addition to the 230 hectares of the old core. The author of the project is J.-G. Conrath, municipal architect since 1849. He first provides a prestigious area reserved for official buildings (imperial palace, ministries, headquarters of the regional assembly, library and university). The whole thing is finished around 1900. The other sector, with its neighborhoods of collective or individual housing, advances more slowly and continues after 1920. This is a very interesting urban creation that has almost no equivalent following the destruction of World War II; it is made up of squares, broad, airy avenues, adorned with trees, and several sites where the monumental and a keen sense of "landscape".

No wonder Strasbourg has a great Architecture School, we saw the place from the boat ride and we also had the chance to ride our bikes around the area. It’s a very impressive building.

Gare de Strasbourg

Reviewed By scouse1941

The station is quite striking; an old traditional facade covered by an enormous rounded glass structure. From the outside it looked like a major Soccer Stadium. It was easy to navigate and I found the staff extremely personable and helpful. Perhaps this is a result of having to deal with so many politicians and their staff? Just a thought.

We very much enjoyed Place Kleber during our stay in December. Market stalls, a giant tree and an ice skating rink - all the trappings of Christmas magic.
