Strasbourg Christmas markets - "Capitale de Noel" |
Batorama - Start your explorations of Strasbourg with a boat ride. It's fun to take the one hour ride that circles around Petite France medieval quarter, and then goes up the river to the modern buildings of the European Parliament. On the way, you'll pass through two locks and go under twenty-seven bridges, audio commentary in 11 languages, plus a children's version. Batorama departs from the Palais Rohan landing, and runs daily, year round. | |||
Mini-train - From March to November, take the mini-train tram on a 40 min. tour around Strasbourg, including Petit France. The mini-train departs from Place de la Cathedrale. | |||

Kids will want to try a Strasbourg specialty tarte flambee - it's thin pizza with mix of creme fraiche, cheese, onions, and bacon. Other specialties include kougelhopf, a cake with raisins and almonds, cooked in a bundt pan and gauffres (waffles). |

During December, at the Christmas markets and patisseries, there's an amazing selection of seasonal chocolates, cookies and cakes, hot chocolate (and mulled wine for parents). |
