Why visit Strasbourg in autumn?
Strasbourg attracts many visitors in winter thanks to its Christmas market and in summer for its strolls along the water.
However, autumn is a particularly underrated season in Strasbourg with its Indian summer 🍁.
The leaves take on golden hues and are reflected in the water, the air is fresher, and cultural events are numerous.
It's the perfect time to admire the city's colors and explore its museums before warming up with a delicious hot chocolate and a local pastry ☕.
During autumn, parks and gardens, such as the Orangerie or Les Contades, offer a fascinating setting with their shimmering reflections 🍂.
It's also a good opportunity to explore Strasbourg's typical neighborhoods on foot, such as La Petite France, while enjoying some roasted chestnuts 🌰.
Strasbourg is home to many museums, such as the MAMCS, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Alsatian Museum, the History Museum, the Tomi Ungerer Museum, and the Zoological Museum for children.
It's also a great time to explore the European Parliament and its famous hemicycle in the Wacken district.
Why not take advantage of the cooler temperatures to treat yourself to a relaxing moment at the Strasbourg Municipal Baths?
An opportunity to pamper yourself in the wellness area with its Roman baths, saunas, jacuzzi, and Nordic pool 🧖.
After a stroll, what's better than sitting down to a tarte flambée and a glass of wine 🍷?
Take a seat in one of the city's winstubs to enjoy some Alsatian dishes.
Every year in autumn, Strasbourg lives to the rhythm of a rich cultural program.
