Activity itinerary

Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg (Pass by)

Your walking tour begins at Strasbourg’s most iconic landmark. Here, you will admire the magnificent Gothic façade, richly decorated with detailed sculptures, biblical figures, and delicate stone carvings crafted in pink Vosges sandstone. The cathedral’s soaring structure dominates the skyline and showcases centuries of architectural mastery. You will also learn about the famous Astronomical Clock, completed in 1843 by Jean-Baptiste Schwilgué and his team of craftsmen. This extraordinary mechanical masterpiece is renowned for its intricate astronomical calendar and animated figurines. In the cathedral square, you will see a bronze 3D model of the cathedral created by German sculptor Egbert Broerken, offering a unique perspective of the monument’s architectural details.

Maison Kammerzell (Pass by)

Just a few steps from the cathedral, you will discover one of the finest half-timbered houses in Strasbourg. Built in 1427, Maison Kammerzell features an elaborately carved wooden façade decorated with biblical and mythological scenes. This beautifully preserved building provides a wonderful example of traditional Alsatian Renaissance architecture.

Hotel des Deux-Ponts (Pass by)

Continuing along Rue Brûlée, you will pass this elegant 18th-century palace. Once a royal residence and now the official home of the Military Governor of Strasbourg, the building impresses with its classical façade, refined symmetry, and glimpses of its formal French garden through the entrance gates.

Place Du Chateau (Pass by)

At Place du Château, you will encounter the grand Palais Rohan, a striking example of 18th-century French Baroque architecture. This former episcopal palace once hosted distinguished guests including Louis XV and Marie-Antoinette. From the exterior, you will admire its impressive symmetry, stately courtyard, and elegant stone façade.

Place Gutenberg (Pass by)

As you make your way towards Place Gutenberg, you will arrive at a lively square dedicated to Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press. The statue at its centre commemorates Strasbourg’s important contribution to the development of early printing and the spread of knowledge throughout Europe.

Place Kleber (Pass by)

Next, you will reach Place Kléber, the largest and most vibrant square in Strasbourg. Named after General Jean-Baptiste Kléber, this central gathering place blends historic architecture with modern city life and often hosts markets and seasonal celebrations.

Place de la Republique (Pass by)

Your tour continues into the impressive Neustadt district, showcasing Strasbourg’s German Imperial heritage and grand urban design. Here you will see the Palais du Rhin, the former Imperial Palace, notable for its monumental 19th-century architecture; Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire de Strasbourg, one of the largest libraries in France, distinguished by its grand dome and stately façade and Théâtre national de Strasbourg, an important cultural institution housed in a historic building. This elegant district highlights the unique blend of French and German influences that shape Strasbourg’s identity.

Petite-France (Pass by)

If time allows, the tour may include a stroll through the charming Petite France district. Here, you will enjoy picturesque canals, flower-adorned bridges, and beautifully preserved half-timbered houses. Landmarks such as the Ponts Couverts and the Vauban Dam add to the area’s historic charm and provide some of the most scenic views in Strasbourg.
