Christmas with your doggy

City break

Set out to discover Strasbourg, the Capital of Christmas, on foot—through sparkling alleys, along the banks of the Ill, and across beautifully decorated squares—while giving your pup a delightful walk filled with wonder. Many dog-friendly cafés and shops offer welcoming stops along the way, while water points and green spaces provide places to relax for both humans and their furry friends.

Strasbourg thus becomes an urban and festive destination accessible to everyone, where you can fully enjoy the lights, markets, and events while sharing the magic of Christmas with your loyal companion. Between strolls, discoveries, and moments of connection, Christmas takes on a warm and gentle dimension—one where everyone, on two or four legs, can create unique memories at the heart of the city.

  • From the Pont du Corbeau to the Vauban Dam, follow a walking route that offers beautiful views of Petite France and its canals. Dogs are welcome: it’s a pleasant stroll that lets you discover the neighborhood’s charm at your own pace, with your faithful companion.
