Climb aboard a pedicab for a private tour of Strasbourg, seat of the European Parliament and Council of Europe.
Meet your personal pedicab driver outside the Notre-Dame Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg and the Strasbourg Minster. Your driver will pedal off as you take the weight of your feet, relaxing as you pass through the Petite France area, home to the tanning houses and slaughter houses of the Middle Ages.
Marvel at covered bridges over city canals, and see the Barrage Vauban, a weir erected in the 17th century. Admire the Astronomical Clock of Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, and pass the baroque Palais Rohan, home to 3 of the city’s most important museums.
Continue to Place de la République, home to handsome neoclassical public buildings, including the national public lending library. Go into the Quartier Européen to see some of the spectacular buildings of the EU.
Next, admire the French garden landscaping of Parc de l’Orangerie, before seeing the headquarters of ARTE television. Along the way, chat to your pedicab driver about where to eat, or anything else about Strasbourg you’d like to know.
