2025 Mulhouse Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Less touristy than Strasbourg and Colmar, the city of Mulhouse offers some beautiful monuments and architectural ensembles, but its main tourist attraction comes from its very famous museums. The best known are those of the Automobile and the Railway which reflect the history of the city, strongly marked by industry. Mulhouse is the 25th French city in terms of size. The city has a tram and a bike-sharing system, Vélocité, like the Parisian Vélib'. It is also ideally located at the crossroads of the Three Borders, between Germany and Switzerland. #urbanexplorer #celebratewithtrip #france

"Industrial Town(French Manchester)" MULHOUSE , FRANCE 🇫🇷 Passing by here to get some coffee ,we visited the free museum which is very cool and interesting. Had so much fun roaming around inside seeing old things they used since 17th Century. They have Old Car Museum and Train Museum that we missed to visit because it's closed. #mulhouse #france #tourist #europetrip #europe #travel

I was too tired from walking on the street, so I booked a random restaurant and was amazed by it. It is totally different from the average Marriott hotels that are very old in Europe. It is a chill classical enclosed building with courtyards and garden views, full of old money style. The hotel has a strong artistic atmosphere with oil paintings, fountain pen (fountain pen) paintings, fine brush paintings, and sculptures everywhere. The handsome men and beautiful women at the front desk are very pleasing to the eye. I didn't even feel much during the day. The most amazing thing was that I slept until 11 o'clock in the evening, went downstairs wrapped in a worn down jacket to get my Japanese takeaway, and got lost in the building (and was severely reprimanded by the delivery guy). The guests downstairs were walking around the castle-like hall of the hotel, some were looking at paintings, some were playing the piano, some were drinking in the club, and some were enjoying dinner in the steak house. How to describe that moment? It might be like accidentally walking into the Tang Dynasty dinner party in "The Legend of the Demon Cat". Maybe it’s because Bristol is a white city, which brings a strong retro feeling and is not out of place.

One of the best bakeries around Basel and probably the best in St. Louis. Impressive decor and interior. The various delicious pastries, biscuits, cakes and sandwiches are very unique, using high-quality ingredients and full of creativity, continuing the excellent quality of French pastries and creating a visual and taste bud enjoyment. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming. #2024TravelWish ~ Travel to Sicily, Italy

During the hot weather, I took my friends to see the products, the garden, and the beautiful ancient sites. After that, we stopped to have a coffee at the famous Mulhouse. The service was good, the place was spacious, and there was an upper floor with a beautiful view. We stayed in the best western in the center. There was a lot to see, including the cathedral. It was good enough to spend the whole day, but I wasn't impressed with the food choices during the day.

Mulhouse is a very good city. I like it.
