Welcome to Strasbourg — a city that combines French elegance and German precision. It is here that every street reminds of the change of eras and cultures, and the old city is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Today you will see: Strasbourg Cathedral - a grandiose Gothic masterpiece 142 meters high, which for more than two centuries was the tallest building in the world Rogan Palace - erected in the 18th century for bishops and kings, which is called the “little Versailles of Alsace”. The Rhine Palace is a majestic building of the XIX century, created for Kaiser Wilhelm I. It is a symbol of the German era of the city, preserved in its original form and became part of the architectural ensemble Neustadt, listed by UNESCO. ✨ Interesting fact: Strasbourg is the only city in the world where three major European institutions are located at the same time: the Council of Europe, the European Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights. This is the real “capital of Europe”. Enjoy a walk through the old town, the aroma of coffee near the cathedral and the grandeur of the architecture that will not leave any traveler indifferent.
