The entire historic center of Strasbourg
characterized by well-maintained half-timbered houses
in typical four floors and with idyllic canals to the Rhine
are by UNESCO declared a World Heritage Site.
Strasbourg is an old city, dating back to the time of the Roman Empire
where it was founded by Emperor Augustus by the name Argentoratum.
The german poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe spent his year of study in youth
at the university of the city – wonder whether new poets might walk beside me now.
A walk like going back in time, between the old beautiful architecture.
There is also room for breaks here at the square in front of the cathedral.
My inspiration comes from wonderful “Restlessjo” and her “Monday walk” themes
this area is perfect for inspiring walking and with modern architecture too..

I do like an historic old town to wander through. And a square with a café where I can sit and sip coffee and people watch. Thank you for showing me how delightful Strasbourg is – sounds like a nice city break!
