It's a massive Cathedral with a giant astronomical clock inside, one of Europe’s most extraordinary Gothic cathedrals. Never seen such an impressive architecture like this before. Looks like it was built around 12th century and completed in 16th century. It's free entry and the crowd on a Saturday seems to be coming more after 12pm. I didn't get to go up but this was definitely worth a visit in ...

Located in the centre of the city and took over four centuries to build. Amazing design both outside, so definitely worth a visit. It's also free to go inside and opens from 8:30. I would advise to go early to avoid the large crowds later on.

It’s Very Beautiful 🤩. It’s Breathtaking masterpiece pf Gothic Architecture and one of the city’s Best iconic landmark. You can also climb to the top of the cathedral for panoramic views but there is ticket for climb and there is 332 steps in tower, and entry to the main area of cathedral is generally free.

The beautiful stained glass windows, paintings and sculptures are worth seeing. This 144 meter tall structure is the 7th tallest church in the world. Another major highlight is the astronomical clock which o...

When is the best time to visit Cathédrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg (Strasbourg, France)?

During the Christmas market (late Nov–Dec), enter via the south portal to avoid crowds and wheel your stroller easily. In summer, plan a morning visit to stay cooler and beat the peak crowds.
