Finally made it to Strasbourg for its enchanting Christmas festivities. But first, some snapshots from during the day, starting with a stroll up North in the German Quarter.
Back to the town center, climbing up 332 steps to the top of Strasbourg Cathedral.
View of the Rohan Palace from the Cathedral climb.
Inside the cathedral.
And now, it’s Christmas market time. There are several Christmas markets in Strasbourg, the two biggest are the one at Place Brogile and the one in front of the Cathedral.
If in need of a place to sit down, try a cup of Viennese hot chocolate from Hotel Suisse, which is just a minute from the Cathedral.
Strolling along Petite France.
View from the covered bridges.

Back at the Christmas market.
First of the many cups of hot wine. The cup itself is 1 euro, which you can get back upon returning the cup to any hot wine stand within that particular market.
Hot wine comes in white, too.
Of course, not to leave without a glass of Riesling and/or Gewürztraminer.
Next up: Colmar.
