Tour description

✨ Discover Strasbourg through its shapes, its secrets… and its facades ✨

Strasbourg is not just a city: it is 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 district, an uncommon gesture that shows that here contrast does not divide: it enriches.

This architectural tour invites you to walk through time. I will guide you through streets, bridges, and squares like those in movies… but with real stories..

🧭 What will you discover?

We start at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, and from there we explore:

Barrage Vauban – Military architecture with unique views
Petite France – Timber houses, canals, and Alsatian charm
Covered bridges and lock – Functioning river heritage
Maison des Tanneurs – The oldest in the neighborhood!
Anciennes Glacières – Transformed industrial heritage
Saint-Thomas Church – Austere Gothic
Gutenberg Square – Printing, history, and urban life
Maison Kammerzell – Sculpted Renaissance jewels
Strasbourg Cathedral – Giant of European Gothic
Château Square and Palais Rohan – Nobility in stone
Canals and Saint-Paul Church – Neo-Gothic among waters
Imperial Palace and National Theatre, National Library and Republic Square – The German footprint
End at the National Opera of the Rhine – Where music and architecture meet!

Meeting point:

I'll be waiting for you at the entrance to the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (1 Pl. Hans-Jean-Arp, 67000 Strasbourg), just under a tree near the parking lot exit. You'll easily recognize me because I'll be carrying a pink umbrella. There are also some murals nearby that can be used as a reference point to find us.
