Full description

Strasbourg has changed hands between France and Germany several times, and the old town shows both sides. This two-hour walk with a local guide starts beneath the cathedral’s sandstone spire and follows the lanes of the Grande Île to the half-timbered houses of Petite France.

On the way you hear about the city’s guilds, its printers and its role in today’s Europe, and you cross the covered bridges by the Barrage Vauban. The cathedral interior is not part of the walk, but your guide will point out the best time to see the astronomical clock.
