Hi! I am Oumayma and I grew up in Morocco and I moved to France 6 years ago for studies. The pace of life in Strasbourg is pretty laid-back. It can get hectic, but the romantic architecture and canals really do a lot to contribute to the relaxed and pleasant city atmosphere. Strasbourg is one of the most bike-friendly cities in Europe, which essentially means that pedestrians are always at risk of being run over. Always make sure to be aware and look both ways before crossing any street or sidewalk- seriously! ;)!!
As part of my studies, I spent one year in Prague, Czech Republic and I have been travelling in Europe and Asia after my graduation. These experiences gave me the chance to meet a lot of people/travelers all over Europe and Asia, and with whom I stayed in touch.
Once back home, some of them decided to visit France and to visit Strasbourg, so it was my turn to receive/ show around, give advice about attractions to see and local restaurants to try.
Other local guides reviews have been, definitely, a great help to make choices, to pick the right attractions, restaurants and bars. I figured out that the French food is an experience. Different regions in France specialize in different types of food. For example, Strasbourg gastronomy has been heavily influenced by Germany due to its geographic proximity and subsequent geopolitical exchanges throughout history. But overall, French food can be summarized as an experience meant to be savored and enjoyed.
Besides the advice that I had from other local guides contributions, I could add my two cents and my perspective to Strasbourg attractions, bars and restaurants, and mostly to help others to make the right decisions ;).
