Christmas without his car

Get around and discover differently

In Strasbourg, everything is designed so everyone can explore the Christmas Markets at their own pace. Soft mobility options – on foot, by bike, by boat or by public transport – offer a pleasant and peaceful way to discover the city, far from the stress of driving.
As you wander through the illuminated neighbourhoods, every step or pedal stroke becomes an immersive experience, where the streets, squares and markets reveal their lights, decorations and festive atmosphere. Boat trips provide a unique perspective of the city, with the reflections of the lights shimmering on the water, while public transport easily connects the different sites, allowing you to enjoy all the festive locations.
Thanks to these gentle mobility options, Strasbourg can be experienced differently: a smooth, comfortable and environmentally friendly way to soak up the Christmas magic, appreciate the city as a whole and enjoy every moment without constraint. Each journey becomes an enchanted stroll, combining exploration, relaxation and wonder in tune with the city’s lights and traditions.

  • Christmas walking routes

    Undoubtedly THE most suitable mode of transport during the Christmas period: walking. Marked routes connect the markets smoothly, accessible to pushchairs and people with reduced mobility. Enjoy a stress-free stroll while taking in all the wonders that the historic centre has to offer.

  • Strasbourg by bike, winter edition

    Strasbourg is the ultimate cycling city, and even during this busy period, it remains a great place for cyclists. Choose bypass routes to get around more easily outside the Grande Île and park your bikes on the outskirts of the historic centre to explore on foot. With the Vélhop service, you can hire self-service bikes to explore the city in complete freedom.

  • Cruise on the Ill River

    Take a trip on the River Ill aboard a pleasure boat to admire the city by day or by night from the water. An experience not to be missed.

  • Little Christmas train

    Hop aboard this 100% electric train for a guided tour in 16 languages, taking in the main sights from the centre of the Grande Île to the Neustadt district. Tickets on sale and departure from Place du Château, Palais Rohan.
