About Strasbourg

French and German influences combine to create the incomparable charm of Strasbourg, which lies at the center of Europe. In the region of Alsace, the city feels like a small village as everyone walks past timbered buildings and over bridges lined with flowers. Enjoying a simple, elegant lifestyle, Alsatians indulge in easy conversation, café culture, and hearty meals. The city's many university students pack brasseries to savor buttery pastries, pizza-like tarte flambée, and Alsatian Riesling wine or local beer.
