Traveler reviews
Jay
★★★★★7 months agoVery beautifully decorated place with a blue lit tree and many idyllic lights and picture spots! We took many pictures and wherever you stand, the atmosphere is amazing and very festive. I was glad to visit during the Christmas season as to see these decorations, lights, and the Christmas markets which all come together due to the different places that were so well decorated and organized.

★★★★★2 months agoPlace Gutenberg was a lovely stop during our visit to Strasbourg. Our daughter really enjoyed riding the historic carousel located in the square. The ride cost €3 and was great fun for children. The carousel adds a charming, nostalgic touch to the beautiful surroundings, making it a pleasant place to spend some time with family. A simple but memorable experience.
