Getting around on foot at the Christmas Markets

When visiting Strasbourg, Capital of Christmas, walking is undoubtedly the best way to explore and discover the city. The Grande-Île, entirely pedestrianised during this magical month and with 21 bridges providing 24-hour access to the city centre, makes walking to the Christmas Market even more convenient.

Walking in Strasbourg during the Christmas season means immersing yourself in a magical atmosphere: illuminated streets, decorated chalets, and the tempting smells of Alsatian specialties...
