A base-city guide to Strasbourg and day trips across Alsace

Designed around Strasbourg as a single lodging base, this travel guide maps out a practical way to explore the surrounding border region without changing hotels from town to town. It combines orientation to Strasbourg’s principal sights and local transportation with excursions to nearby Alsatian towns, villages, and castles. Colmar receives coverage alongside destinations across the German border, including Freiburg and Baden-Baden. Maps, graphs, and photographs are included to help travelers situate places and plan routes. The book defines its scope clearly: it is a focused companion for a Strasbourg-centered stay, not a comprehensive survey of every part of Alsace.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Travelers planning to stay in Strasbourg while taking regional day trips
  • Visitors interested in Colmar, central Alsace, and nearby German destinations
  • Independent travelers seeking maps and transportation orientation

Book overview

Updated for 2026 - Strasbourg, Colmar, the central Alsace, and even a few fun German destinations.

Strasbourg is a delightful mid-sized city on the French and German border. This Starting-Point Guide covers Strasbourg and several nearby towns, villages, and castles around the Alsace area. A guide for travelers who wish to use one city such as Strasbourg as their base camp to travel the area and not move from town to town as they travel through Europe.

You will find numerous graphs, maps, and photographs to help orient you to this historic area. Guidance on how to get around town and an orientation to the most popular sites are included. This guide focuses on Strasbourg but also covers notable sites including Colmar, France, and Freiburg, Germany to the south, and Baden-Baden, Germany to the east.
This is not a complete guide to the Alsace region. Such a guide would go beyond the suggested scope of staying in one town and having enjoyable day trips from there.
