What first-timers get wrong in Strasbourg
CTS tickets go live at purchase rather than being stamped on board, and inspectors do work the trams; at 1,90 euro a single against 4,60 for twenty-four hours, the day pass pays for itself in three rides. Kitchens close hard at two and reopen at seven. Tuesday shuts most museums. Cyclists have priority on shared paths here and will not slow for you.
What's actually worth your time in Strasbourg
Notre-Dame's astronomical clock performs its apostle procession once a day at 12:30 and needs its own small ticket; the 332-step climb to the 66-metre platform is the better spend. Petite France photographs well but the crowd crush is real, so walk on to the Barrage Vauban roof terrace, free, for the Ponts Couverts panorama. The European Parliament at Wacken only admits visitors around session days.
Strasbourg with kids, realistically
Trams run at pavement level with flat, wide doors, so a pushchair boards anywhere on the network without a lift. Line D crosses the Rhine to Kehl in Germany, a twenty-minute novelty ride that older children enjoy for the border-crossing alone. Le Vaisseau, the hands-on science centre out in Neudorf, is pitched at three to fifteens and closes on Mondays.
When the weather turns in Strasbourg
The Palais Rohan stacks three museums under one roof, so a wet morning goes indoors without moving. Follow it with the Musee Tomi Ungerer in Villa Greiner, which holds the Strasbourg illustrator's drawings and his toy collection. Batorama's glassed-in boats loop the Grande Ile in about seventy minutes whatever the sky is doing, and a winstub lunch stretches comfortably past two.
What things cost in Strasbourg
A tarte flambee runs about 10 to 13 euro, a winstub plat du jour 15 to 19, and a quarter-litre pitcher of Riesling around 6. CTS charges 1,90 euro for a single, 4,60 for a twenty-four-hour pass and 15,20 for a carnet of ten. Each Palais Rohan museum is 6 euro, while the cathedral nave itself costs nothing.
