General
This over 2000 year old city with many interested historic site is on of my favorit cities in France. Its population of about 650 000 makes it not to big, nor to crowdy. It should serve both people who has interest in hitory and shopping, as there is a few large shopping center whitin city center. I have been to Strasbourg several time, and always enjoy my stay here.
What to do
First, the city it self is very charming, whith many restaurants, pubs, museums and of course the beautiful "Petit France". "Petit France" is the old part of city. You can easily see that there is a great german influence in when walk around in the city.
Now, to stay in the city I would recommend a couple of days. You should be abel to walk to main attractions whitin the city itself, but i do recommend to also use the tram system. Purchase a 24 hours ticket, an use the modern and efficient system as you like.
In strasbourg you should at least see:
- The Chatedral (you must see the atronomic watch)
- "The petit france"
And tast "Flambre Tarte" when you are in Strasbourg. This is a kind of local pizza that locals eat a lot of. I did learn how to make this i Strasbourg and have great success at home with the dish.
Strasbourg is also a good spot for making day trips. Near attraction are:
-Alsace wine vally (car ride, http://www.tourisme-alsace.com/index.php?lg=en)
-Europe amousment park (car ride, German side, http://www.europa-park.de/lang-de/c87/default.html)
