Around the Cathedral
A Little Tip from Strasbourg
If you're feeling adventurous, take on the climb up the 332 steps leading to the Cathedral's observation deck, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city from a height of 66 meters.
Traditional Christmas Market
In the Middle Ages, before the Chrìstkìndelsmärik emerged, a “Klausenmärik”—or St. Nicholas Market—was held on Cathedral Square around December 6. Stalls run by candlemakers, gingerbread sellers, and vendors of other sweets stood side by side with shops run by herbalists, saddlers, secondhand clothing dealers, and haberdashers.
Today, the market stalls stretch from Cathedral Square to Castle Square, along Halberd Street and Gutenberg Street.
