🏛️14 Featured Attractions with Audio Guides

1

Gare de Strasbourg — Strasbourg Railway Station

Begin your journey at Strasbourg's magnificent railway station — a neo-Renaissance masterpiece originally built in 1883 that seamlessly blends historic grandeur with modern innovation. Your audio guide reveals the fascinating wartime secrets hidden within its walls and explains how the breathtaking glass canopy added in 2007 symbolises Strasbourg's perfect balance between preserving tradition and embracing progress. Discover why this station became a pivotal gateway between France and Germany through centuries of shifting borders, and how it remains one of Europe's most strategically important railway hubs.

2

Place Kléber

Step into the vibrant heart of Strasbourg at Place Kléber, the city's largest central square named after Revolutionary War general Jean-Baptiste Kléber, whose commanding statue watches over the bustling space below. Your audio guide unveils the square's unexpected past as a cemetery before its transformation into a thriving commercial centre in the 14th century. Discover how this square evolved through centuries of alternating French and German rule, and hear the dramatic WWII story of Nazi flags that once hung from these very façades — a stark contrast with its present-day role as the joyful gathering place for the world-famous Strasbourg Christmas market.

3

La Petite France

Wander through La Petite France, Strasbourg's most photographed quarter, where enchanting half-timbered houses with flower-laden balconies create perfect reflections in the peaceful canals below. Your audio guide dispels the romantic myths surrounding its charming name — revealing its surprising origin as a 15th-century hospital treating soldiers for "the French disease." Discover how these beautiful buildings once housed hardworking tanners, fishermen, and millers, with special architectural features designed for their demanding trades still visible today. You'll hear captivating stories of this quarter's remarkable transformation from a malodorous industrial zone into one of Europe's most beloved neighbourhoods.

4

Pont Couverts — Covered Bridges

Explore the iconic Pont Couverts, an impressive testament to medieval engineering genius standing guard over Strasbourg since the 13th century. Despite losing their distinctive wooden roofs centuries ago, these majestic stone bridges retain their historic name and continue to captivate visitors. Your audio guide reveals the ingenious defensive strategy behind their original covered design, which allowed defenders to move swiftly between the three massive towers without exposure to enemy fire. Hear dramatic accounts of fierce battles fought from these very stones that decided the fate of the city, and discover how subtle architectural modifications tell the story of their evolution across the centuries.

5

Barrage Vauban — Vauban Dam

Marvel at the Barrage Vauban, the ingenious 17th-century dam designed by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban — Louis XIV's legendary military engineering genius who revolutionised European fortification. Your audio guide reveals the brilliant defensive strategy behind this massive structure: it could intentionally flood entire sections of the surrounding land to create an impassable moat, a feature tested as recently as the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Climb to the panoramic terrace for breathtaking views of La Petite France, the covered bridges, and the cathedral's soaring spire. Discover the dam's surprising dual purpose as both military fortress and economic cornerstone — controlling water flow to power the city's vital mills.

6

Église Saint-Thomas

Step into the remarkable Église Saint-Thomas — often called "Strasbourg's Protestant Cathedral" — a magnificent church housing artistic and historical treasures of equal significance to the famous cathedral. Your audio guide reveals its fascinating architectural evolution from Romanesque foundations to Gothic completions, and directs your attention to the church's crown jewel: the monumental 1777 tomb of Marshal Maurice de Saxe, widely considered a masterpiece of 18th-century funerary art. Music enthusiasts will appreciate exclusive insights about the historic organs that Mozart himself played during his 1778 visit, and why Albert Schweitzer specifically chose this church for his landmark organ recordings.

7

Cave historique des Hospices Civils de Strasbourg

Descend into the extraordinary historic wine cellar of Strasbourg's Civil Hospital — a hidden treasure remarkably few visitors ever discover. Your audio guide reveals how this atmospheric cellar began storing precious wines in 1395 as both financial investment and legitimate medicine, including the world's oldest barrel-stored wine dating from an astonishing 1472. Explore the evocative vaulted chambers where specific vintages were once prescribed to patients according to their ailments, and learn the fascinating story of how this priceless collection was cleverly hidden from Nazi confiscation during WWII. Discover how this cellar strategically funded healthcare for centuries — and why certain barrels bear curious markings that tell stories of war, plague, and dramatic political change.

8

Place Gutenberg

Stand in the historic Place Gutenberg, honouring Johannes Gutenberg — the father of modern printing who spent crucial innovative years in Strasbourg before creating his revolutionary press. Your audio guide presents compelling evidence suggesting that Gutenberg actually developed his groundbreaking initial printing concepts right here in Strasbourg, not in Mainz as commonly believed. Examine the square's impressive statue while the narrator points out easily missed details in the intricate bronze panels depicting Gutenberg's printing process, and discover the centuries of pivotal history this square has witnessed — from bustling medieval markets to dramatic revolutionary declarations.

9

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg

Marvel at the awe-inspiring Cathédrale Notre-Dame — once the world's tallest building and still an unrivalled masterpiece of Gothic architecture dominating Strasbourg's skyline with its magnificent asymmetrical spire. Your audio guide reveals features far beyond the famous pink sandstone façade: from the astronomical clock's intricate automata to hidden symbolism in the spectacular stained glass. Discover why Victor Hugo described it as "a gigantic and delicate marvel" and how its distinctive pink Vosges sandstone creates a magical light effect that transforms throughout the day. Hear the remarkable stories of master craftsmen who dedicated lifetimes to its construction, including the secret personal marks they left in stone that can still be decoded today.

10

Église Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune

Discover the unique architectural wonder of Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune, where Protestant and Catholic histories converge in one extraordinary building. Your audio guide reveals how this exceptional church uniquely housed both faiths simultaneously for over 200 years, physically separated by an actual wall dividing the nave — a tangible testament to Strasbourg's intricate religious history. Explore the extraordinarily well-preserved Romanesque cloister, considered among the finest in all of Alsace, and see centuries-old graffiti left by medieval monks offering intimate glimpses into their daily lives. The tour highlights the church's remarkable 14th-century frescoes and their miraculous survival through religious conflicts that destroyed similar artwork throughout Europe.

11

Église Saint-Paul

Explore the imposing neo-Gothic Église Saint-Paul — a striking architectural symbol of German influence and imperial power during the 1871–1918 annexation period. Your audio guide reveals how this massive church was originally named "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche" and was strategically built to demonstrate German architectural prowess and cultural dominance. Discover unique design elements that intentionally differ from French Gothic traditions, and learn about the dramatic shifts in the building's public perception — from resented imperial monument during French rule to treasured architectural heritage today. The audio experience brings to life the complex emotions this imposing structure evoked, offering valuable insights into Strasbourg's unique role as a cultural battleground between competing national identities.

12

Parc de l'Orangerie

Wander through the verdant splendour of Parc de l'Orangerie, Strasbourg's oldest and most beloved public park that has served as the city's green lung for over two centuries. Your audio guide reveals the park's romantic creation as a grand gift to Empress Joséphine, personally commissioned by Napoleon — though ironically she never visited this beautiful space created in her honour. Explore the elegant original 18th-century orangery building, discover fascinating remnants of the park's former zoo, and hear charming stories about the beloved stork reintroduction programme. Discover why these distinctive birds hold such profound cultural importance in Alsatian tradition, and how this gracious park evolved from imperial showpiece to democratic public space.

13

The Europe Bridge

Cross the remarkable Europe Bridge spanning the Rhine — a powerful symbol of Franco-German reconciliation rising from centuries of bitter conflict. Your audio guide reveals how this historically significant crossing point — once a volatile flashpoint for devastating conflicts between nations — was deliberately transformed into a celebration of lasting peace. Discover how the bridge's repeated destruction and rebuilding mirrors the broader European story of conflict and ultimate cooperation, and hear fascinating details about the engineering challenges overcome during its construction. This seemingly simple infrastructure project represents a physical manifestation of the European project itself: a testament to how former enemies chose connection over division after centuries of devastating wars.

14

Le Jardin des Deux Rives — Garden of the Two Banks

Conclude your Strasbourg journey at the tranquil Jardin des Deux Rives — a unique binational park existing simultaneously in France and Germany, symbolising European unity with beautifully landscaped grounds. Your audio guide reveals the garden's creation for the 2004 "Grenzenlos" (Without Borders) festival and its powerful role in healing historical divisions. Explore thematic gardens designed by landscape architects from throughout Europe, and learn the profound significance of the central footbridge by renowned Parisian architect Marc Mimram — designed to physically and metaphorically connect once-hostile nations. This peaceful space, where children from both countries play together joyfully, represents the European Union's most profound achievement: transforming Europe's bloodiest border into a place of shared enjoyment and hopeful coexistence.

⭐Customer Reviews & Testimonials

★★★★★

"Perfect way to explore Strasbourg at our own pace"

My husband and I used this audio tour during our 3-day visit and it was absolutely worth every penny. The narration was engaging and informative without being dry or boring — it felt like having a knowledgeable friend showing us around. We especially loved the flexibility to stop for photos at La Petite France and spend extra time admiring the cathedral without worrying about holding up a tour group. The stories about Strasbourg's complex history between France and Germany were fascinating and really helped us understand the city's unique character. We completed all 14 attractions over two leisurely days and discovered places we would have completely missed otherwise. Highly recommend for anyone who values independence and quality information!

— Sarah M., London, UK

★★★★★

"Incredible value and professional quality"

As a solo traveller on a budget, I was looking for an affordable alternative to expensive guided tours and this audio tour exceeded all expectations. The production quality was outstanding — clear narration, interesting facts, and perfect pacing. I particularly appreciated learning about the astronomical clock in the cathedral and the defensive history of the Barrage Vauban. The interactive map made navigation effortless even though I'd never been to Strasbourg before. I finished the entire tour in one full day and felt like I'd gotten a comprehensive introduction to the city's most important landmarks. Best money I spent on my entire Europe trip!

— David K., Toronto, Canada

★★★★★

"Saved our family vacation!"

With three teenagers who have very different interests, finding activities that keep everyone engaged is challenging. This audio tour was perfect because we could let the kids take turns controlling the device and navigation, which kept them invested in the experience. The historical content was sophisticated enough for our 16-year-old who loves history, while our 13-year-old enjoyed the stories about wars and defences. The flexibility to take breaks when needed and move at our family's pace made this infinitely better than a traditional tour. The audio guides were educational and entertaining — we all learned something new about European history!

— Jennifer R., Boston, USA

★★★★★

"Hidden stories brought Strasbourg to life"

I've been to Strasbourg twice before on business trips but never really explored beyond the main square. This audio tour revealed a completely different city to me. The guide shared fascinating details I'd never heard before — like the story behind La Petite France's name, the ingenious flooding system at Barrage Vauban, and Gutenberg's time in Strasbourg before inventing the printing press. The Cave historique wine cellar was an absolute highlight that I would never have discovered on my own. As someone who appreciates architecture and history, I loved the in-depth explanations about how French and German influences shaped the city's appearance. I completed the tour over two half-days during my business trip and it completely transformed my perception of Strasbourg.

— Hans B., Munich, Germany

★★★★★

"Perfect for photography enthusiasts"

I'm a semi-professional photographer and was in Strasbourg specifically to photograph the city's architecture and canals. This audio tour was invaluable because it helped me understand the historical context behind what I was photographing, making my images more meaningful. Unlike being stuck with a tour group on a schedule, I could wait for optimal lighting conditions, return to locations during golden hour, and take my time composing shots without pressure. The Pont Couverts at sunrise and La Petite France at dusk produced my best photos of the trip. This is the perfect tool for any photographer wanting to combine stunning imagery with meaningful storytelling.

— Lucia M., Milan, Italy

★★★★★

"Excellent educational resource for students"

I'm a high school history teacher and took a group of students on an educational trip to France and Germany. We purchased this audio tour for each student — very affordable compared to hiring guides — and it became an incredible learning resource. The detailed information about Strasbourg's role as a border city between France and Germany perfectly complemented our classroom studies about European history and the formation of the EU. The content about World War II, the European institutions, and the symbolic Europe Bridge sparked excellent discussions about reconciliation and peace-building. Several students said this was the highlight of their entire trip.

— Thomas L., Lyon, France

★★★★★

"Romantic and deeply informative"

My fiancé and I spent a long weekend in Strasbourg for a pre-wedding romantic getaway and this audio tour added such wonderful depth to our experience. We explored La Petite France hand-in-hand while learning about its colourful history, took stunning photos at the covered bridges, and enjoyed coffee breaks in charming canal-side cafés between attractions. The cathedral was absolutely breathtaking, and understanding its history from the audio guide made us appreciate it even more. This was so much better than joining a large tour group and losing our intimate couple's experience. Strasbourg is now one of our favourite European cities and this audio tour helped us truly connect with its soul.

— Emma & James W., Dublin, Ireland

★★★★★

"Accessibility and flexibility were game-changers"

I have mobility limitations and use a walking aid, which makes traditional guided tours extremely difficult since I can't keep up with group pace. This self-guided audio tour was perfect for my needs. I could take frequent breaks, spend more time at easily accessible locations, and skip attractions with too many stairs. I took three half-days to complete the entire tour at a comfortable pace. This gave me independence and dignity to explore on my own terms without needing to explain my limitations repeatedly. Thank you for creating a product that makes cultural exploration accessible to everyone regardless of physical abilities!

— Margaret S., Manchester, UK
