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.

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.

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.

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!

Make sure you get onto the roof terrace of the barrage - you get a great view of old Strasbourg and of Petit France.

Pont Couvert has great views across Barrage Vauban - and equally the best views of Pont Couvert are from Barrage Vauban. It gets pretty busy during the day, but worth getting up early before anyone else is there, to see the sunrise (or stay late to watch the sunset).
