In Strasbourg, each step crosses several centuries of history. You walk from medieval alleys lined with half-timbered houses to glass buildings housing European institutions. The cathedral, 142 meters high, has dominated the city since the Middle Ages, while modern structures along the Rhine reflect the city’s European role. The sound of bells blends with tram noise, and the smell of gingerbread drifts through the contemporary administrative districts.
