Hello,
Thanks for the great insights into Strasbourg! It sounds like a charming and manageable city with a lot of historic and picturesque attractions. The old town with the cathedral, Petit France, and beautiful half-timbered houses seems like a must-visit.
I appreciate the tip about the 70-minute boat trip; exploring urban areas that are not easily seen on foot sounds intriguing. And, of course, enjoying Alsatian food in the old town's restaurants, grabbing a coffee at the cafes, and browsing through souvenir shops adds to the overall experience.
I'll definitely keep in mind to catch the astronomical clock in the cathedral playing at the full hour. Thanks for the heads up! Can't wait to explore Strasbourg and soak in its rich history and culture.
Safe travels!
