★★★★★7 months agoBeautiful square in Strasbourg, right next to the Cathedral and an abundance of shops, cozy cafes and restaurants. In the winter it turns into a magical Christmas wonderland. The storefronts are decorated to the nines with elaborate decorations, branches, bows, wreaths and other beautiful adornments. Excellent gathering and meeting spot when shopping, as it is centrally located in the middle of several different directions of shops. I highly recommend a visit during the Christmas season and in random Saturday's, as they always have a fresh market going on. You can buy tons of fresh produce, fresh creams and yogurts, meat pies and all sorts of yummy treats.

★★★★★6 months agoWe came here with our guide during Rhine River cruise. This beautiful historical square is located in the heart of Strasbourg. Some of the famous buildings are in this square like Opera House, City Hall and Governor's Palace. The French national anthem "La Marseillaise" was first sung here. There are many cafes and shops over here. This square is also very popular for weekly and Christmas market. Worth visiting...
