EXTENDED WEEKEND IN STRASBOURG:
WHAT TO DO IN THREE DAYS?
Strass à Strasbourg, a flamboyant weekend in a city with a big heart
Strasbourg is the name of the city that will win you over in just three days! Its indescribable charms are incomparable, its gastronomy warm, its streets poetic will captivate your tamed hearts. Settle into the beautiful Hotel Hannong, in the heart of Strasbourg’s city center, and discover all the city’s splendors on foot. Three days in Strasbourg, the most beautiful of stays!
Day 1: First steps from the Hotel Hannong and immersion in historic Strasbourg
Visiting Strasbourg from the Hotel Hannong is easy. Put down your luggage, enjoy a drink and slip on your sneakers to set foot on the cobblestones of this city of art and history.
At 12:30 sharp, the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral offers you its automaton parade. Don’t be late – the astronomical clock doesn’t wait for latecomers. Take a deep breath as you climb the 330 medieval steps, your breath taken away by the beauty of the city. Petite France, Place Kléber, the Old Town and the European Quarter will all appear in a spectacular panorama.
Stroll with your nose in the air and admire the half-timbered houses of Petite France, lining the lazily winding canals. Scenes worthy of the finest fairy tales. Fancy a typical Alsatian dish? At Chez Yvonne or Le Pont du Corbeau, you’ll find traditional Alsatian fare on your plate. Tartes flambées, baeckeoffe, kougelhopf… A festival of flavors to celebrate the Alsatian art of living.
A little history? Strasbourg’s museums open their doors to the curious: Musée Alsacien, Beaux-Arts, Palais Rohan. Perfect for enriching your cultural itinerary in Strasbourg. A quick tour of your 4-star room before dinner and you’re off on foot. The Maison Kammerzell welcomes you for an exceptional sauerkraut, with its carved woodwork and old-world charm.
In the evening, the hushed elegance of the Black & Wine wine bar, Hôtel Hannong’s signature bar, envelops you. Dark wood, subdued lighting, a well-chosen glass of white. A place apart, for a suspended moment.
Day 2: Nature, culture and insider pleasures in Strasbourg
The Parc de l’Orangerie stretches out its arms to you. Alsatian storks chatter happily, children laugh, the water in the pond sparkles softly. A coffee on the terrace, a few laughs, the quiet elegance of a Strasbourg morning.
In the afternoon, the alleyways reveal their wonders: boutiques, bookshops, galleries, concept stores. Then it’s off to the Musée d’Art Moderne. Immense glass roofs, imposing volumes, powerful works. An inspiring interlude.
For those with a sweet tooth, push open the door of a tearoom. Quetsche tart, pain d’épices, bredeles… Alsatian pastries are love stories to be savored slowly.
Save room for dinner. Le Buerehiesel or Le Crocodile will take you on a journey. Alternatively, a typical winstub will take you back to basics: simplicity, authenticity and generosity.
End the day at the Bar de l’hôtel, a warm and chic meeting place for the people of Strasbourg. The perfect opportunity to make the magic last.
Day 3: Last breaths of Alsace before departure
Another morning, and already the urge to slow down. At the Hôtel Hannong, breakfast is taken in the calm of an elegant lounge. Then, with your suitcases deposited at reception, you’re off for one last stroll.
The boat awaits you for a cruise on the River Ill. The water laps gently, the bridges go by, memories cling to the facades. A unique way to see Strasbourg differently.
From the Hôtel Hannong, everything is within walking distance. The station, the cathedral, the museums, the old town. The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Strasbourg, for strollers and heritage enthusiasts alike.
