Coming by coach
There are several drop-off points for coaches, where you can walk or take the tram to the city centre and the Christmas Markets. Your transport company will tell you how to get there, depending on where you are dropping off.
Parc de l'Étoile drop-off point - bus station
The city centre is a fifteen-minute walk from the bus station. The Christmas Market around the Cathedral and the Quai des Délices are just a few metres away on foot as you head towards Place d'Austerlitz, then Place du Corbeau and passing under the Porte des Lumières Strasbourg Capitale de Noël.
If you want to take public transport, go to the Etoile-Bourse tram station right next to the bus station, and take one of the following two trams:
- Tram A, direction Parc des Sports
- Tram D, direction Poteries
