Beyond the cathedral and Petite France, Strasbourg conceals hidden treasures. An initiatory journey to the heart of a city that never ceases to surprise.
Strasbourg, European capital and UNESCO world heritage jewel, reveals its most beautiful secrets to those who know how to look beyond the beaten path. Here are ten unique experiences to discover a city that never ceases to surprise.
1. The Historic Cellar of the Hospital
Hidden in the basement of the Civil Hospital, this exceptional cellar houses around sixty oak barrels from the 18th and 19th centuries. His treasure? The oldest white wine in the world preserved in barrels, dating from 1472. Tastings allow you to discover the vintages of this centuries-old estate.
2. The Vodou Museum
Installed in an old water tower, this unique museum in Europe presents the largest private collection of Vodou objects in West Africa. Far from Hollywood clichés, it offers a fascinating dive into a little-known and often misunderstood culture.
3. The Egyptian House
At 10 rue du Général Rapp, this Art Nouveau facade from 1905 combines orientalist influences and modernity with astonishing audacity. Its hieroglyphs, papyriform columns and mosaics constitute one of the best-kept secrets of the Neustadt district.
4. The Court of the Raven
At 1 quai des Bateliers, this Renaissance ensemble hides exceptional woodwork and a rich history. Now converted into a luxury hotel, it bears witness to the opulence of Strasbourg merchants of the 16th century.
5. The Piece of the Berlin Wall
In the gardens of the European Court of Human Rights, a fragment of the Berlin Wall recalls the values that the institution defends. A little-known place of memory, full of history and symbols.
6. The Cellar of the Future
Place du Château, a concrete bunker sealed in 1995 contains objects left by Strasbourg residents. Scheduled opening date: the year 3790. A meeting with the future that questions our relationship with time.
7. Strasbourg by Electric Boat
Captain of your own boat, navigate the Ill at your own pace. With no license required, these silent electric boats offer a unique perspective on the city, between Petite France and European institutions.
8. The Beer Spa
Immersed in a bath infused with malt, hops and yeast, while tasting a craft beer: the Taaka Beer Spa experience combines relaxation and brewing gastronomy in a resolutely offbeat approach.
9. The Brewing Treasure Hunt
L'Échappée Bière offers an urban exploration that combines discovery of heritage and tasting of craft beers. A fun and delicious way to explore the city.
10. Rohrschollen Island
This nature reserve between Port-Sud and the Rhine offers a preserved green setting at the edge of the city. Ideal for a cycling getaway or a contemplative walk, it reminds us that Strasbourg is also a green city.
