France has a lot of cities that are unique and offers great travelling experiences for its visitors. One of the famous cities in France is Strasbourg with its iconic Strasbourg Cathedral. Located at the north-eastern France, Strasbourg is the capital of Alsace region and close to the border of Germany. The close proximity of the city to German also contributes to its Germanic name. Strasbourg is a city with an area of around 30 square miles and has a rich history that dates back to hundreds of years ago.
To get into Strasbourg, one can choose to take a flight into one of these international airports, the Strasbourg International Airport or the Baden-Baden Airport. You can also opt to take a flight to Frankfurt International Airport that is located in Germany because this airport has more inter-continental routes from the two airports mentioned before. After you reach here, take a ride using car hire France services prepared at the airports and you can already enjoy the view and sights here. Strasbourg is also strategically located and a journey to other famous cities in France and Germany like Paris, Stuttgart and Zurich would take less than 2 hours.
It would be a waste if you did not visit the iconic Strasbourg Cathedra which towers above the city. This sandstone-made church was first built in 1015 and after a thousand years later, it still stands tall overlooking the city. This medieval age cathedral is open all year and the entrance fee is just under €5. You can also enjoy the apostles’ animation every day at the cathedral’s south portal and visitors can also enjoy a magnificent view of the city from the cathedral platform by paying the entrance fee of €3.
Even though Strasbourg is humble in size, it offers a great variety of museums that are scattered all over the city. All the museums have its own uniqueness and some of the popular ones are Musee des Beaux-Arts, Musee des Arts decoratifs and Le Vaisseau.
