With Daytrip’s private car service, you can personalize your journey by choosing which sightseeing stops you want to explore. Is it the colorful city of Dinkelsbuhl or the historic town of Ansbach? Or would you like to soak in more views of the half-timbered houses? Then stop by Rothenburg ob der Tauber! Before you enter the Alsace region in France, get one last taste of Germany by exploring the majestic Karlsruhe Palace.

About Strasbourg

Strasbourg, known as the capital of the Alsace region, is a truly enchanting destination. The city's architecture beautifully combines Gothic style, half-timbered houses, and charming canals, reflecting the influence of both French and German cultures. You can also observe the influence of the two cultures in Strasbourg’s cuisine and if you speak some French, you will even notice the city’s specific dialect.

In December, the city comes alive with festive spirit, making it a famous Christmas destination. Strasbourg’s Christmas market dates back to 1570, making it the oldest in France and one of the oldest in Europe. Visitors from around the world are invited to enjoy festive music, savor local cuisine, and shop for handmade gifts for their loved ones.

Strasbourg is an important political hub, as it houses the official seat of the European Parliament. With a history of shifting control between France and Germany after World War II, the European Parliament was established in Strasbourg as a symbol of peace and cooperation. Those who are eager to learn more about the European Union and the work at Parliament can enjoy an insightful guided tour, making Strasbourg a must-visit for anyone interested in European politics.

Whether you’re wandering through the charming streets of Petite France, discovering the processes of the European Parliament, or soaking up the festive magic of Strasbourg’s Christmas markets, the city offers a unique experience for every type of traveler.

From Nuremberg to Strasbourg: travel tips

Before you dive into the details of traveling from Nuremberg to Strasbourg, here are some quick tips to make your trip feel like a breeze:

Pick up some basic French

While you'll find that many people at restaurants, hotels, and major tourist attractions speak English, learning a few basic French phrases can show your respect for the local culture. You don’t need to be fluent. Just knowing a few key expressions can make a big difference. Here are some simple phrases to get you started:

  • Bonjour (Hello)
  • Excusez-moi (Excuse me)
  • Merci (Thank you)
  • S'il vous plaît (Please)

Book in advance

Strasbourg is a popular destination, particularly in December when the Christmas market draws many visitors. Make sure you book in advance not only your accommodation but also tours. Some of them can fill up fairly quickly and even have limited availability (like the European Parliament tour). If you have a specific restaurant in mind, it’s also wise to make a reservation early, as finding a free table during the busy season can be challenging.

How to get from Nuremberg to Strasbourg

There are three main transportation options for your trip from Nuremberg to Strasbourg:

From Nuremberg to Strasbourg by bus

Taking a bus is a good choice for those who are looking to save a few dollars. One of the main bus companies that offers direct routes from Nuremberg to Strasbourg is Flixbus. In 5 hours and 20 to 40 minutes, you will reach your destination, and the tickets cost around $29 (€26.50), making it the most affordable option.

From Nuremberg to Strasbourg by train

If you are planning to go by train, keep in mind that there are no direct trains available from Nuremberg to Strasbourg, so bear in mind that there will be at least one transfer included, usually in Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, or Mannheim.

Trains operated by Deutsche Bahn run multiple times a day, and the journey typically takes between 5 hours and 40 minutes and 6.5 hours. Ticket prices start from around $56.50 (€52). However, due to the multiple transfers, train travel may not be the most convenient option. Therefore, it is suggested to consider traveling by bus or private car service instead.

From Nuremberg to Strasbourg by private car service

Private car services like Daytrip are perfect for those seeking a hassle-free experience. Your personal English-speaking driver will pick you up from your accommodation and start the 3-hour and 40-minute journey from Nuremberg to Strasbourg. But it is not a simple journey, as you can also add any sightseeing stops to make the most out of your trip.

As you travel through Germany, you'll have the chance to explore some truly picturesque areas, including the medieval town of Ansbach or Dinkelsbühl, famous for its bright half-timbered houses. Be sure to stop at Rothenburg ob der Tauber to marvel at its well-preserved medieval architecture.

Don’t forget to visit Maulbronn Monastery, known for being the best-preserved monastery complex in Europe. These are just a few of the stops you can explore during your trip from Nuremberg to Strasbourg, so make sure you don't miss out on the rest.

Things to do when you get to Strasbourg

Once you have completed your journey from Nuremberg to Strasbourg and explored along the way, it’s time to immerse yourself in Strasbourg’s charming streets. Here are some of our recommendations for an unforgettable stay:

Wander around La Petite France

La Petite France is the most iconic place in Strasbourg. This picturesque area is characterized by its charming canals lined with half-timbered buildings on both sides. In the Middle Ages, La Petite France was a trading center for tanners, fishers, and millers. Later on, this charming district was modernized and no longer served as an industrial center. La Petite France was restored, and since then, the historic buildings have been protected.

Today, La Petite France’s cobblestoned streets are filled with the charm of lovely cafés and bakeries, inviting restaurants, and interesting stores. Set aside a few hours to wander through this charming corner of Strasbourg.

Climb the stunning cathedral

No trip to Strasbourg is complete without a visit to its stunning Notre Dame Cathedral. Admire the Gothic architecture of the immense Strasbourg Cathedral, where you can easily spend hours exploring and appreciating its intricate details.

Inside the cathedral, which was once the tallest building in the world, you will encounter detailed sculptures, an impressive organ, and a fascinating astronomical clock. Don't miss the chance to climb the tower for the most breathtaking panoramic views of the city.

Go on a boat tour

If you want to explore Strasbourg from a different perspective, take a boat tour along the Ill River, offering unique and scenic views of the charming city. You can either opt for a relaxing boat ride or a guided tour to learn more about Strasbourg's history and main landmarks.

Sample the local dishes

Strasbourg's cuisine reflects both French and German cuisine, so it might not be as different from what you tried in Germany. Here are two of our favorite traditional dishes that originate from Strasbourg and the Alsace region:

  • Choucroute garnie: a dish that mainly consists of fermented cabbage, meat, carrots, potatoes, and onions.
  • Tarte flambée: it is often compared to pizza, although tarte flambée is made of an even thinner pastry that is typically topped with sour cream, onions, and bacon.

When is the best time to visit Strasbourg

The best months to visit Strasbourg for pleasant weather and fewer crowds are May and September. In May, you'll enjoy more sunny days and warmer temperatures without the summer heat. If you prefer milder weather, September is also a fantastic month to explore the city and taste the Alsace wine.

Despite the colder weather and larger crowds, December offers a magical experience for those planning a festive getaway. Explore its famed Christmas markets and enjoy the streets sparkling with decors and all the seasonal festivities. Be aware that many people visit Strasbourg during this time, so the accommodation will cost more than usual due to the demand.

Great transfer option.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.
