A visit to the sumptuous Etablissement de Bains, built to exacting German standards between 1904 & 1911, is a must.

Enjoy a Turkish bath, sauna, thermal bath or a swim in opulent surroundings unlike anything available in Britain all for a very reasonable entrance fee.

A perfect and affordable pick-up, particularly revitalising during the winter months.

As well as seeing the usual sights, you must visit the Orangerie, a park or more accurately, pleasure garden just north east of the city centre.

There are beautiful gardens, stately buildings,a small zoo, an aviary,a boating lake, an unusual outdoor planetarium and a stylish cafe and restaurant.

A lovely place to spend an afternoon away from the busy city centre.

A bar you have to visit is L'Epicerie. Located in rue du Vieux Seigle, a narrow street in the centre of the city, its authentic fifties decor and ambience is worth a visit alone.

If you're recovering from the night before, try the vast breakfast, served with steaming bowls of hot chocolate/coffee.

Beware though - this place is extremely popular with the locals and its wooden benches fill up quickly.

Built during the period when Strasbourg was German, the Bains Romains/Bains Municipaux are a splendid example of a 19th century bathhouse.

You can pop from sauna to plunge pool to hot pool, surrounded by sea nymphs, statues of Neptune and fine art nouveau design. The perfect way to relax and warm up on a bitter Strasbourg winter day!
