Itinerary
- Day 1
Strasbourg
You'll arrive in Strasbourg and check into your hotel, then have the rest of the day to wander around on your own. The Gothic cathedral is right there in the historic center, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so that's the main thing most people head to first. Take your time getting oriented and grabbing dinner somewhere in the old town.
