A fascinating city fusing a very French identity with elements influenced by its proximity to the German border, Strasbourg is a vibrant cultural hotspot. Perfect for business trips, family holidays, breaks with friends or romantic escapes, this is one of Alsace's most popular destinations. There are a huge range of accommodation options to choose from, with many heritage gems and swish contemporary hotels clustered near the city centre. Our list of the best places to stay in Strasbourg offers the ideal starting point to begin planning your trip.

Strasbourg's Grande Île, the old town centre, is the place to go for heritage strolls, guided tours and museums. This was the the first city to be Heritage Listed by UNESCO — in its entirety. Admire the Gothic Cathedral with its 142-metre tower and 300-year-old clock, the beautiful Palais Rohan — now home to the Museum of Fine Arts and the Archaeological Museum — the Historical Museum of the City of Strasbourg, and the Baroque Opera House. Slightly to the south, La Petite France is a lovely neighbourhood for a stroll, whilst the European Court of Human Rights as well as the Council of Europe mean that modern Strasbourg has its own powerful change-making energy.

Gather in lively squares or on little lanes where tables spill onto the street for delicious regional cuisine, or to sip Alsace-produced wine in cosy winstubs in the evenings. Strasbourg has a burgeoning student population, so you can expect late night parties aplenty. Many of the best places to stay in Strasbourg feature restorative spas for kicking back the following day.
