Hector Martinez
★★★★★8 months agoStrasbourg was SPECIAL for me. A place that makes you fall in love, my favorite place in Europe. Its architecture, squares, Notre Dame Cathedral, its canals and locks, restaurants and cafes. Everything is like something out of a fairy tale. They say it's spectacular at Christmas; I'll have to go back to see it. 100% RECOMMENDED
