Strasbourg. The capital of Alsace has a tumultuous history, having been a favored pawn of the French and Germans over the centuries. This constant division is reflected in its art, culture, and cuisine: in the morning, the scent of pretzels fills the air, while at noon, it’s the aroma of tarte flambée. In one of the most significant cathedrals, the Münster, which celebrates a millennium since its foundation in 2015, the connection between both cultural influences can also be seen visually. Besides its UNESCO-listed old town, Strasbourg has much more to offer: the city is primarily green, vibrant, student-friendly, and European.
