Visit the most important cathedral in Strasbourg, The Notre Dame of Strasbourg.

Marvel at the wonders of the architecture of the cathedral.At 142m high, it’s tower was one of the tallest in the 1800s.Built in the 12th century and took 300 years to finish the whole cathedral.It’s free admission open from 7am to 1115am and 1245pm-7pm.The midday is closed for people who want to see the 15th century astronomical clock with a 2euro entrance fee.For me i would skip the clock and pay 5 euro to go up to the Cathedral’s platform to get an amazing view of Strasbourg,the Alsace,the Rhine and the black forest!

Spot the white storks of Alsace to bring back some luck!

A symbol of good luck, the White Storks of Alsace!

The locals says this “If a stork is flying above your house,then a baby is on the way. If a baby has been born, it means that the stork had flown to the underground lake where the souls of the dead have reincarnated as babies and fished out one and wrapped it in a sheet and carried it to your house.If a Stork should choose your house,local legend says it will bring luck to your family! ”

Today there are over 600 stork couples in Alsace, at least 50 on the rooftop of Strasbourg alone! So when you are in the city, look up and spot some storks fluying above you or feeding their young on the rooftops of Strasbourg. To bring back lots of luck, visit the local zoo in Strasbourg and see them in action!

So bringing back a stork souvenir is a Must In Strasbourg! For me i bought a t – shirt with a stork at work, just to be get some luck whenever i want to! So if you had been to Strasbourg, share with us what you got back as a gift and if you hadn’t,you should definitely put Strasbourg in your list!
