Place Gutenberg, Central square in Strasbourg, France.

A bronze statue of Johannes Gutenberg stands at the center of this square, framed by traditional architecture and the Strasbourg Cathedral spire.

During his time in Strasbourg from 1434 to 1444, Johannes Gutenberg developed the first mechanical movable type printing press in this area.

The Chamber of Commerce building, formerly the town hall, displays classical French architectural elements with its symmetrical facade and detailed stonework.

The underground parking facility beneath the square provides direct access to Strasbourg's historical district and main shopping areas.

Each winter, the square transforms into a Belgian-themed Christmas market, featuring products and foods from Belgium alongside a blue illuminated tree.

Visit Strasbourg: medieval history, Gothic architecture, and European institutions

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.
