    Alsace is the smallest region in France. It consists of just two départements, namely Haut-Rhin and Bas-Rhin. It is easy to find your feet here because Alsatians are so friendly and enjoy speaking to visitors who are looking for directions or ask where to

    find the best restaurants. The region measures just 190 km from north to south and 50 km from west to east. It lies in the idyllic area between the Rhine and the Vosges. Just a stone’s throw away from Germany and Switzerland, whether for a day trip, or one-week hiking trip or holiday, Alsace is an ideal destination.

    Feasts, hiking, culture – and at the same time, Alsace is one of the smallest, yet most dynamic economic regions in Europe. Alsatians keep house better than all other French people. Its location on the intersection of the European economy, on the Rhine, has helped it to build a modern infrastructure that

    supports and secures the intensive trade between northern and southern Europe.

    Alsace has something to offer all year round. Gourmets, culture enthusiasts, nature lovers, art connoisseurs and sport-lovers are always welcome – the cultural calendar is full. The region has something for all the senses!

    Majestic castles, Romanesque and Gothic churches, romantic half-timbered houses with colorful roofs, crumbling castle ruins on the heights of the Vosges, small winding lanes in the old quarters, art collections of international standing... allow yourself to be surprised.

    Within a stone’s throw of the pulsing city of Basel, Baselland surprises with its scenic beauty, cultural variety and many insiders’ tips. The fog-free autumn and winter days are legendary; the view of the Alps and surrounding countryside is breath-taking. Augusta Raurica is the largest Roman settlement north of the Alps: the temples, amphitheatre and arena are two thousand years old.

    Legendary Swiss quality is not limited to watches and knives. It is also demonstrated in the perfect network of paths. You’ll never get lost here: the hiking trails through the mountains of Jura,

    covering thousands of kilometres, are perfectly signposted. Many lead to the small medieval town of St. Ursanne at the river Doubs, the lifeline of the Jura: a small river for fishing, bathing and strolling. On foot or by bike, it takes you through magical landscape. You can find local customs and tradition in the Freiberger Mountains, a gently undulating plateau with pine forests, extensive pastures and sturdy farms and studs. The famous Freiberger horses are bred here.

    Aargau is also richly blessed with beautiful, untouched nature and countryside. Everyone, whether they are a nature lover, culture lover, art enthusiast, sportsperson, bon vivant or a family should take a trip of discovery in this region.

    Cuckoo clocks, Bollenhut hats, Black Forest farms and Black Forest gateau – the Black Forest is the epitome of a homely German holiday resort. But it is also a landscape of modern industry and culture, a huge recreational area, and a Mecca for outdoor

    enthusiasts.

    The Black Forest, which ascends from the south to the 1493 metre high Feldberg, is the highest of the German low mountain ranges and also the most diverse. More than 24,000 of excellently signposted hiking trails, various cycling trails and exceptional snow sports conditions await you in the Black Forest.

    Sunny vineyards and acres of fertile land alternate with mountain pastures and moors, extensive forest-covered mountains with treeless hilltops and jagged gorges with wide valleys. And in between lie 320 villages, towns and small

    What would the Southern Palatinate be without wine? It shapes the image of the landscape and plays a significant role in the cultural and economic variety of the region in the Upper Rhine Valley. People have cultivated the left banks of the

    Rhine as far back as in Roman times. Over the centuries, traditional wine-growing families have used their diligence and innovation to establish an excellent reputation for their Pfälzer Wein all over the world.

    Hiking in the Palatinate Forest is a special experience. You can go from soft sandy paths through dense mixed woodland, encountering cliffs and ruins but always have a view on the soft hills of the wine-growing area or the endless humps of the Palatinate Forest. Hike a few days on the Pfälzer Weinsteig or along the German Wine Route. Here you are never far from the next Palatinate Forest hut, a genuine wine bar or village economy.

    Southern Palatinate Variety in living culture

    You are spoilt for choice in Southern Palatinate: so many medieval castles, fortresses, churches and festivals take place within such a small area. The castles, forts and fort ruins are a real treat. From the Burg Landeck you have a wonderful view across as far as the Black Forest. For a long time, Germersheim was a heavily reinforced border fortress. A tour through the underground passageways is unforgettable. Experiences that the whole family can enjoy include a boat trip on the Lusoria Rhenana, the faithful reproduction of a Roman warship; the FunForest in Kandel; the South Palatinate handcar railway, the animal and nature park in Silz or the zoo in the pretty little town of Landau.

    in complete darkness at 4 o’clock in the morning, has been celebrated on the Monday after Ash Wednesday since 1835. At the same time, the city is a showcase for the best modern architecture: Mario Botta, Herzog & de Meuron or Renzo Piano have all designed spectacular modern buildings here.

    Strasbourg’s "Grande-Ile", was the first city centre in France to be placed on UNESCO’s World Heritage list in 1988.

    After the Second World War, Strasbourg naturally became a European city – in 1949, the Council of Europe (currently with 47 members) adopted it as its seat. Other important European institutions such as the European Parliament

    and the European Court of Human Rights also settled in Strasbourg and are located in the European institutions quarter.

    Despite the War, Strasbourg was able to protect an exceptionally wide range of cultural possessions, which are testimony to the development of the city from Roman times to this very day.

    The cathedral, which was described as a "prodigy of the gigantic and the delicate" by Victor Hugo, can be seen for miles around. With its 142-metre high spire, it was the highest edifice in Christendom right up to the 19th century!

    La Petite France, one of the most picturesque quarters, which was once home to tanners, fishermen and millers, is a peaceful area in the heart of the city.

    Attractions in the cityTomi Ungerer Museum : 11,000 drawings by the caricature artist.Cave Historique des Hospices : 600-year-old wine cellar. La rue de la Mésange : pedestrian street with many luxury boutiques.

    You also must visit the ten renowned museums and the “Imperial German Quarter”, which was partly created in the typical Wilhelminian style after the French defeat of 1870 and the annexation of Alsace to the German Empire.

    A range of restaurants brings the cityscape to life, including fine dining restaurants, which are among the best in France. You can enjoy local specialities in the small inns or "winstubs" that are typical in Strasbourg. Don’t forget the Alsatian wines – Gewürztraminer, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sylvaner.

    The extensive pedestrian zones, the tranquillity of the canals, the distinctive quarters of the city, the numerous parks and green areas – all these make Strasbourg an experience by foot, boat, mini tram or bike!

    Strasbourg is a warm-hearted, authentic city that has managed to be both modern and traditional at the same time.
