Top Culture in Grand Est

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.

My advice is to explore the side streets. Some of the prettiest spots are off the main paths so don’t be afraid to wander a bit.

I suggest popping by on a weekday morning around 9 AM. It’s way less crowded then, and you can admire the stunning architecture without too many photo bombers!

Bring some snacks. The café inside is a bit pricey for what it is, and I wished I had packed a sandwich and some water instead.

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.

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
