THINGS TO DO
The things worth doing in Strasbourg, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
The Ponts Couverts towers with Strasbourg Cathedral behind
Palais Rohan
The eighteenth-century bishops' palace on the Grande Île, now holding three separate museums under one roof.
European Parliament
The institutions sit north-east of the centre. The Parliament runs visits during session weeks, booked well ahead.
Barrage Vauban
The seventeenth-century weir at the end of Petite France, with a roof terrace looking back over the covered bridges.
Parc de l'Orangerie
The city's oldest park, next to the European quarter, with a lake and a resident stork population.
Cross to Kehl
Tram D runs over the Rhine into Germany in a few minutes, which makes for a cheap and faintly absurd afternoon.
