Strasbourg. . . Not to be missed! ❤️❤️❤️

Talking a leisurely walk across the center of Strasbourg is like treading the pages of a history book. The oldest part of Strasbourg stands on an island formed by the river formed one side, by the main channel of the Ill River, and the Canal de Faux-Rempart. The entire Grand Île is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its westernmost corner houses the famous district of Petite France with its quaint streets, bridges, and half-timbered homes. Over the centuries, Strasbourg changed hands several times between France and Germany. This shared history has brought a unique bicultural feel to the city, evident in its architecture, its language, and local crafts. In its more recent history, Strasbourg has developed a distinctly cosmopolitan style as the capital of Europe, an energy that imbues its arts and music scene, café culture, and world-class hotels and art.
