Precision: you can also go on the roof of the cathedral. It's on the side, there is an entrance. You have to buy a ticket, then you can climb the stairs (you'd better be in good physical condition) and then you have a good view of all the city. When you visit the European Parliament, there is also a rooftop. Don't hesitate to ask how to go there!

[@normantheiss7108]

Well as a Strasbourg native who's been living here since birth I've got to say : biggest don't is call us Germans. We're alsaciens. Thats neither French nor German. You hear a lot of German because the tramway is connected to Germany and it takes about 15 minutes to get from Germany to Strasbourg. We alsaciens go shop for grocery in Germany because it's cheaper. The German come to Strasbourg because we have famous fashion brands they don't have. Second thing : Mulhouse is the trashcan of elsass, it's just industries, factories and dirt. I don't recommend anyone to go out of their way to visit that city ^^ Besides that, great video and great info!

[@normantheiss7108]

@@hmmmhmmm6178 I'm 29. But maybe my experience as a hotel manager for 9 years tweaked my relationship to tourists. One thing we can probably agree on is that the Christmas market is a pain in the ass for natives. And I don't think it's a matter of sticks up their asses. It's more à matter of old people having lived through the war and the border changes ;)

Yes, you are alsacians. Geographically/politically your region is part of France and before it was part of Germany. Tuscany is part of Italy and Holland is part of the Netherlands etc etc. However, I have to say that the architecture of Strasbourg/Strassburg is rather German and, more precisely, originates from Southern Germany. Many names of people and places throughout your region are of German origin and many aspects of culture are German from the outset as well. No, I am not a nationalist and I really love Strasbourg/Strassburg, but what is true is true and has to be said. Best wishes!

Hi Wolter. Your guides are excellent,but I'm surprised when you spoke about day trips you didnt mention the closer options like doing the wine route visiting amazing little towns like Bergheim and Obernai, and of course Colmar. Anyway keep the great channel!

[@jansolo55]

Not alone Bergheim, or Obernai !! almost all the villages on the "Route du Vin" are worth a visit, from Marlenheim to Thann, over a distance of 170 km .... And along the way, you can still visit Mt Sainte Odile and the Haut-koenigsbourg castle, each time with a unique view of the Alsace plain and the neighboring Black Forest (Schwartzwald), in Germany, which side of the Rhine plain, parallel to Alsace, with also pretty picturesque towns, villages and landscapes . And so you can also pay a visit to our dear German neighbors of Baden Württemberg !!

[@jansolo55]

@lookin fornothin I don't forget them !! These can be considered as "bests of" , but I would say that most of the towns on the "Route des Vins" are very pleasant to visit ! (However, Riquewihr has become a bit of an annex of Disneyland ....)

Totally agree with the Alsatian museum, it's amazing ! And also : yes if you stay a week and are an art lover, don't forget to spend a day in Basel, they have amazing museums and it's a beautiful city About tour groups... about them... You, Wolter, and independant tourists, families, friends group, are way more important to us in Strasbourg, we love y'all ! But tour groups... I used to live in Petite France (now I'm just a few blocks away) and heard every day the false informations given by tour guides, and worst than that : the school with signs saying "no photo of the kids" were never respected, and guides never made that respected... A big group of people is always more stupid, people follow each other and are not looking around to interact with actual inhabitants or other tourists... Also : tour groups at the market interrupting us making our groceries, tour group in front of the entrance door of my building, tour groups in the middle of the bike paths, tour groups preventing you crossing the streets, tour group everywhere. And not spending any money in our hotels or restaurants.

[@PeterStanton]

I lived in Strasbourg for three months and I agree on every part of the video! It seems difficult for English speakers to be consistent about how to pronounce the name of the city, and it doesn't help that it's pronounced differently in French, Alsatian, and German. However, the first syllable should never be pronounced like "Strauss" and should be either "strahz" or "strahss."

[@jansolo55]

I'm Alsatian : in alsacian dialect,version Strasbourg, you can also pronounce : "SCH" (Schtross- borry 😁😉) . Alsatian is a Germanic dialect , named in French language "Bas Alémanique", and it has become a mixture of French and German with particular intonations. Years ago there was a German version of the local newspaper, and it was written in general German language (Hochdeutsch) .

[@PeterStanton]

Oui, merci ! Malheureusement j'avais jamais l'occasion d'écouter l'alsacien pendant que j'étais à Strossburi. :(

[@jansolo55]

@@PeterStanton Ha ha !! 😁 Et pourtant , ce ne sont pas les occasions qui manquent !! Sans doute n'avez-vous fréquenté que des francophones ! Cela dit, le dialecte malheureusement se perd peu à peu, car les parents à un moment donné en ont perdu l'usage, et n'ont pas jugé utile de le parler avec leurs enfants ...car ça faisait "populaire" ...... Tss, tsss ...Personnellement, j'ai eu la chance d'apprendre le français et l'alsacien en même temps, puisque mes grands parents étaient entièrement germanophones et mes parents francophones, et l'allemand également car nous avions de nombreux amis et apparentés en Allemagne voisine, puis l'anglais lorsque ma fille a émigré en United Kingdom ... Et ainsi, la culture se perd petit à petit. Mais heureusement, il reste un noyau d'irréductibles, dont je fais partie . Parler plusieurs langues ou dialectes (car le Badisch d'outre-Rhin en est un aussi !!) est une richesse inestimable ... Tschüss, auf Wiedersehen, au revoir and goodbye !! 😁

[@theChaosKe]

Alsatian is actually categorized as a german dialect (upper rhenish, upper german). If you learn alsatian you would generally be able to talk with germans, give or take. France would be able to recognize it as a regional language though at which point it would be bumped up from a dialect, similar to luxembourgish.

Strasburger here. First of all never say to an Alsacian that he is German, it's a very sensitive subject that you don't want to go into (if you hear German on the street it's the Germans of Kehl that take the tram to go shopping in France hehe). :) Secondly yeah if you go there try Picon-beer it's an institution in North-Eastern France from Lille to Strasbourg. :) And it's a little shame that you only show footage of the city center and Petit France, because these are the tourist place, i'd recommend going in Krutenau as well and North of the center near the Republic's place, if you go further there is the Orangerie Parc which is just beautiful if you want to picnic for instance. :)

I clicked on one of your "don't" videos. I think it was about Luxembourg. I only clicked this one because I have fond memories of a day trip I took by myself to Strasbourg. I was staying in Karlsruhe with my mom's former college roommate. I was in college myself -- this was 30 years ago. I knew you'd have great footage - and I wasn't disappointed. I'm not really a fan of your "don'ts" because they're all really "dos". - Don't miss this. - Don't miss that. - Don't just do this.

I live in Stroudsburg, PA and that's what it sounds like lol

I recently enjoyed three wonderful weeks in Alsace, France, in late November and early December 2023. Strasbourg is phenomenally beautiful! Yes, I will admit it: Strasbourg is more beautiful than Paris! In addition to the French and German influences, tourists may also feel as if they are in Amsterdam because of the many, many bicycles. The locals love commuting on bicycles throughout the city! There are designated bicycle lanes on the streets and on the sidewalks. That should be another "Don't" on the list: Don't walk in the designated bicycle lanes!

Wolter’s kids have had the most amazing childhood any kid could wish for. 18 year olds like “ I am off to explore the world” wolter’s kids , well you know I’ve already done that 😜

A very lovely city. Thanks for the great tour and info.

[@isitramt]

Don't be confused when you go to Strasbourg via Germany and see 'Straßburg' on the road signs. 🙂 And to overcome the high number of other visitors at the cathedral: visit 'Église Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune' instead. Much more calm and older.

We are planning a trip for 15 days in Europe. We are in love with places like Bruges, Amsterdam and Paris. We are trying to decide where to go. Between Austria, Prague, and Strasbourg. We like to spend a lot of time in one or two places. We love getting to know each city. Can you recommend a city that feels like a fairy tale without being too hot in August?

[@marcobrazil8956]

Closer to the coast like Amsterdam and Bruges is cooler then inland like Paris, Prague, Germany and Alsace.

[@TMD3453]

Thanks, you’ve put Strasbourg on my bucket list! Love the architecture, so beautiful! The food looks like best of all worlds. I did have that weird between worlds feeling about Colnar - which I recommend for the art there. Good tips on prices. Dreaming now…

[@standom2390]

Right before visiting Strasbourg, I went to Karlsruhe. I can tell, Strasbourg is France and you can't confuse it with Germany.

@@BLACKSTA361 Strasbourg is a pure gem. I'm sorry for Karlsruhe - waste of time.

@@woltersworld How is the situation in Europe for traveling at the moment. I booked my trip for Germany and Italy in September. I hope the situation gets better so that traveling is easier

[@ballsszy]

@@Mu93508 if you've had both doses of your vaccine you should be absolutely fine. It'll really come down to: 1. What the situation is in the US, as they might put it on a red list so you have to quarantine 2. What the situations are in those countries, as a lot of things may be closed because of covid

My brother-in-law is from just across the Rhine in Germany. Been there multiple times, it is a lovely city.

[@aoilpe]

If you get panic in big , static crowds; DON’T COME TO STRASBOURG BETWEEN THE LAST WEEK OF NOVEMBER AND THE 1.1. !!! The Center Island is closed like an Airport with annoying security checks at the bridges and the Tramways don’t stop. Mulhouse is the City of technical Museums ; La Cite du Train / Electropolis / La Cite de l’Automobile / Musée du Papier Paint / Musée de l’impression sur Étoffe… And Mulhouse was Swiss for 2 centuries !

Hello! Thanks for this vidéo, happy to have a feedback from a stranger. There is just a mistake about the cathédrale : she has not 400 years, but 1000 years ;)

[@eaglenoimoto]

I'm German and love Alsace (especially since I'm less shy to speak my high school French there, because most locals are fluent in English and German, too, and know the pain of learning a language). However, from my experience, Alsatians are very proud of their heritage and culture and would never consider it "German"... That's a "don't of Strasbourg" for me, confusing Alsatian culture with German OR French culture.

[@antoinemozart243]

I think Germans have a long history of local culture.

To all the commenters living in Strasbourg - I’ll be visiting on Good Friday. I’m not expecting much to be open, but do you have any tips for visiting on a holiday?

Here’s another “don’t”. Don’t think you’ll find a lot of restaurants open in the late evening.
