Serviced Apartments in Strasbourg

Strasbourg is a wonderful city in the extreme north-east of France, right on the border with Germany. Indeed, Strasbourg is actually a name of German origin (German: Straßburg) and some would say the city is actually more German than it is French. It is this blend of cultures which makes the city and interesting destination, and Strasbourg holiday lettings are easily found.

Strasbourg is the capital city of the Alsace region of north-eastern France and is a very important city in terms of European political, educational and economic significance. Among the many important institutions found here are the Council of Europe, European Parliament offices, the International Institute of Human Rights and the European Science Foundation. Strasbourg certainly is the best place for holiday apartments, for those with political interests.

Looking around the more historical sights of the city, possibly the most striking of all is the Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame. For 230 years, this sandstone cathedral was the tallest building in the world and is regarded as one of the most brilliant examples of late Gothic architecture anywhere in Europe. The cathedral is visible from virtually anywhere in the city, so it shouldn't be hard to find it from your Strasbourg serviced apartment!

Also, during a trip to the cathedral you will no doubt notice the Kammerzell House; another tremendous example of Gothic architecture with an ornate exterior and looming character. Both of these destinations are easily reached from any Strasbourg city centre (center) apartment. The same can be said for several interesting mediaeval streets including the Rue des Serruriers, Rue des Charpentiers, Quai des Bateliers and Grand' Rue.

As well as being useful for an afternoon lounging around, the city's numerous parks have historical and cultural connotations. The Parc de l'Orangerie is a wonderful destination which is also home to a neo-classical castle and small zoo. The Parc de la Citadelle is easily reached from central Strasbourg holiday rentals and bears the remains of a 17th-century fortress.

Strasbourg is also famous for its museums, art galleries, libraries and educational establishments, which are all worth a visit. Within some of the library walls you will find incredible examples of incunabula - some of the earliest books ever printed dating back to before 1501 AD. By the way, don't expect to be able to take these ones back to your Strasbourg serviced accommodation; they are very much not for lending.

Strasbourg is certainly one of the most cultural and important cities in France; anyone lucky enough to visit the city will be sure to go away happy.
