Understand
Capital ofAlsace, Strasbourg ((gsw)Strossburi, (of)Straßburg) is mainly known for being the capital of Europe, the city is home to multiple European institutions (European Parliament, Council of Europe, Human Rights Palace, ...). But it is also a very interesting tourist destination, whether historically with its old town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988 or for the diversity of the districts that make it up; from the nineteenth century university district to the European quarter. The city itself is one of the 9 largest cities in France, and the metropolitan area has nearly half a million inhabitants. It is located in the heart of the so-called: European megalopolis which makes it easy to access for all tourists wishing to visit the city.
To go
There are many possibilities from one mode of transport to another to reach Strasbourg and its surroundings.
By plane
- 1 Strasbourg-Entzheim International Airport ,
33 3 88 64 67 67 – It is located about twenty kilometers south-west of Strasbourg.
Thanks to Strasbourg's European role, the airport is connected not only to the main French cities but also to many European cities and the rest of the world (Casablanca and Tunis for example...).
A rail shuttle provided by the network T.E.R. Alsace serves Strasbourg train station and provides direct access to the city center by the tram and bus network, all in just ten minutes. The price of a ticket combining the single route on the two networks amounts to 4 €.
For motorists, the airport is well connected to the local road network, especially by highways A 35 and A 352 completely free to use.
By train
- 2 Strasbourg train station Station Square,
33 892 35 35 35
Since the establishment of TGV Is in June 2007 between Vaires-sur-Marne (Seine-et-Marne) and Baudrecourt (Moselle), it was necessary to count a travel time of 2 h 20 since Paris. Since 2014, the second section between Baudrecourt and Vendenheim (Bas-Rhin) has completed the line, and the journey between Paris and Strasbourg is now carried out in just 1 h 50. This event confirms the city's vocation as a crossroads-European capital, by connecting it to the network TGV Rhin-Rhône as well as the German ICE (equivalent to the French T.G.V.…).
To get to Strasbourg from other provincial towns, you have to count 6 h 30 To 7 h since Bordeaux (three TGV direct per day), 3 h 20 To 4 h since Lille and 3 h 40 since Lyon (3 h 15 in December 2012…).
On this occasion, numerous development works were undertaken at the Strasbourg train station to cope with the massive arrival of new travelers. Thus, an expansion of the infrastructures with the immense glass roof or "Hall of Transport" which covers part of the station square, and an improvement of the transport platform giving connection to the tram lines. TO and D in their underground station as well as towards the lines of urban buses and intercity coaches has been deeply affected. Since the end of 2011, the new line VS whose terminus is located on the surface (north exit of the station) allows direct access to the university campus through the city center, station Iron Man and place Broglie.
Note that it is possible to take the lines directly B and F at the station Faubourg National. it can be reached on foot (in a few minutes) by the Petite Rue de la Course.
Locally in Alsace, the network T.E.R. is very efficient and fast while ensuring good geographic coverage. It is thus necessary 50 min to link Mulhouse from the Alsatian capital. But the Strasbourg metropolitan area and the region tend to improve it considerably by creating the tram-train (whose delivery is scheduled for 2016 ...) which connects the Strasbourg urban tram network to that of the trains of the T.E.R. Alsace serving the Piedmont of the Vosges. We can take the tram in the historic center of Strasbourg to explore the region. Alsace without changing mode of transport, therefore without taking the train and this on the S.N.C.F. classic.

Since Paris
Perfectly connected to the many ring roads in the Ile-de-France region, the motorway A4 Where Eastern highway allows you to go directly to the center of the Alsatian capital in a few 5 h 30, via Reims and Metz.

Since Paris
