Strasbourg is the capital of Alsace, straddling French and German cultures on the Rhine. The UNESCO-listed Grande Île features the magnificent Gothic cathedral with its astronomical clock and La Petite France quarter with half-timbered houses along canals. Beyond medieval beauty, Strasbourg hosts the European Parliament and Council of Europe, giving it international significance. The city combines Alsatian wine culture, tarte flambée cuisine, and one of Europe's best Christmas markets. This blend of Franco-German heritage, Gothic splendor, and European institutions makes Strasbourg unique.
