Strasbourg is also famous for its local specialties, the foie gras, Alsace wines, chocolates and brandy.

In Strasbourg there are many things worth seeing, for this reason we suggest you to stop another day to enjoy the city at best.

In the city center you can also visit several museums, enjoy wine and local specialties tasting.
