Strasbourg by boat
Possibly the best way to see the city, and one of the “must-dos”. In boats similar to the bateaux-mouches which ply the Seine in Paris, this boat trip on the River Ill, with multi-lingual commentary, takes in all the main sights, including the “Petite France” Quarter and the European Parliament buildings, and photo opportunities abound.
Europa Park
For a fun day out across the German border you can’t do better that the well-established and highly popular Europa Park. With rides to rival Disneyland® Paris, Parc Astérix or Phantasialand, ever-changing shows and reviews and a taste of the architecture and culture of 11 different European countries, it is a unique and highly enjoyable day out.
Freiburg and the Black Forest
Why not combine a scenic drive through Germany’s famous Black Forest with a visit to Freiburg, the “Green Capital of the Black Forest”? Not to be missed are the Cathedral, the Altstadt and the Rathaus, where the bells are rung daily at noon. There are traditional markets daily except Sundays and holidays, and the cable car, which rises 748 metres was the world’s first two-way large cable car. Despite all this history, the city prides itself in its modern approach and boasts Germany’s highest per capita use of solar power. In 1992 the city was awarded the title “Umwelthauptstadt Deutschlands” (the German Capital for Environmental Protection).
