Strasbourg

Grand Est · France

Admission and costs
The square-based markets can be browsed freely; food, purchases and ticketed activities are separate. The Musée Historique is an independent museum visit: access to the stalls does not include admission to city museums.
Getting there
From Strasbourg Gare Centrale, the first Old Town chalets are a ten-minute walk. Head towards the Grande Île and place Kléber, then continue between the squares without bringing a car into the historic core.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Musée Historique at 2 rue du Vieux-Marché-aux-Poissons tells Strasbourg’s story inside the former city slaughterhouse. This indoor alternative near the cathedral district requires separate museum admission.
