Strasbourg, Colmar and other French cities to fall in love with
In about 20 minutes by train, you are in the middle of Strasbourg.
Alsace - Hotel Hanauerhof: just a stone's throw away.
Flower-decorated centuries-old half-timbered houses, stork nests on the roofs, quaint wine taverns - even in the European city of Strasbourg you will find this quaint charm in the alleys of the old town. Particularly picturesque villages where time seems to stand still are Colmar, Riquewihr and the round village of Equisheim.
Along the Alsace Wine Route, you'll taste wine in well-kept villages - and of course, nowhere does tarte flambée taste as good as in Alsace itself. Or how about Gugelhupf, Choucroute, Tarte aux pommes, Galettes de pomme de terre or Coq au vin?
For families with children, the Hochkönigsburg - Château Haut-Königsburg - with its nearby monkey forest, as well as the chocolate museum in Geispolsheim near Strasbourg are particularly worthwhile excursion destinations.
And for inexpensive shopping, the outlet shopping center in Roppenheim on the Rhine is recommended.
