Discover Details:
Strasbourg Cathedral
If you can, grab a Strasbourg Pass beforehand. It not only gives you access to the cathedral but also discounts to nearby attractions, saving you some cash.
Place Kleber
Don’t miss the opportunity to snap pics at dusk. The light hits the buildings beautifully and it’s way less crowded. You might want to come back around 7 PM - it was perfect for me!
Be ready for some crowds, especially on weekends. If you can, go during the weekday, preferably Tuesday or Wednesday, when it's much quieter. I regretted not planning that way.
Barrage Vauban
My advice is to grab a bite at nearby cafés before heading up to the viewing platform. It's a bit pricey in the area, but you’ll save money if you eat elsewhere
Le Vaisseau
My advice is to explore the outdoor area first when you arrive. It's less crowded in the morning, and you won't feel rushed to see everything.
If you're planning to take lots of pictures, try late afternoon when the sun isn't too harsh. The lighting is better, and the crowds start to thin out.
Modern and Contemporary Art Museum
If you don’t want to spend on the museum café, bring some snacks. I did, and it made my break in the sculpture garden way better!
I recommend getting the Strasbourg Pass if you plan to visit multiple attractions. It saved me a good chunk of money on entry fees, including the museum
Don’t skip the gift shop on your way out! They have unique art books and souvenirs that aren’t found anywhere else in the city.
I suggest checking out the temporary exhibitions online before you go. Some of them blew me away, and I would have missed them otherwise.
Maison Kammerzell
Covered Bridges
I suggest taking a stroll around the area before or after visiting. There are some charming spots and hidden gems to discover that give you a taste of local life. Just watch out for those cobblestones, they can trip you up.
Definitely try to visit in the morning around 9 AM. The light hitting the bridges is amazing for photos and you'll avoid the crowds. Trust me, it’s worth getting up a bit earlier!
My advice is to bring some snacks because the eateries nearby can be a bit pricey. A small picnic by the water is way more enjoyable without breaking the bank!
Big Island
I suggest visiting Big Island on a weekday if you can, it was much less crowded for me. Plus, you can enjoy the architecture without the rush of weekend tourists.
You'll save some cash if you grab a bite at local cafés instead of the touristy spots. I found a great little bakery nearby that had delicious treats and was super affordable.
Saint-Thomas Church
If you're tight on budget consider skipping the audioguide—there's plenty of free info around the church and I found chatting with other visitors just as informative.
Wear comfortable shoes and take your time to walk around. The intricate details in the architecture deserve to be appreciated up close, and you don't want to rush through it!
Saint-Pierre Le Jeune Church
My advice is to grab a snack before you go, as there aren't many cafes nearby. I wish I had brought something since I started feeling a bit hungry during my visit.
I suggest visiting around 10 AM when it opens; the light streaming through those stained glass windows is something else! Plus, you'll avoid the crowds and get better shots for your Instagram.
