🧭✨ The facades speak: free architectural tour of Strasbourg and its built history!!✨
Tour description
Discover Strasbourg through its shapes, its secrets... and its facades .
Strasbourg is not just a city: it's a crossroads, a bridge between medieval and modern, between France and Germany, between tradition and reinvention. In 1988, its historic center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 2016, it was expanded to include the German Quarter, a rare gesture that demonstrates that here, contrast doesn't divide: it enriches.
This architectural tour invites you to walk through time . I'll guide you through streets, bridges, and squares, just like something out of a movie... but with real stories.
