Advantages: CULTURAL MIX - VERY FRIENDLY AND WELCOMING

Disadvantages: A BIT FAR FROM THE UK

If you ever get a chance to see the Christmas Market in Strasbourg go there. It is situated in the pedestrian area around the cathedral and one of the biggest Christmas Markets in France. With the Alsatian routes being partly German it is dominated by the wonderful Christmas ornaments and wood carvings that are typical for the German Christmas Markets.

And obviously for the German food which comprises the most famous German sausages. In Strasbourg though there is a few very fine distinctions and specialities:

One is the love for "Sauerkraut". Cabbage is the attraction in the Alsace and famous for its variations. On the Strasbourg Christmas Market you will find delicious Kraut mixed with the local sausages and mashed potatoes.

From the French roots you find the "Crepes" the most famous pancakes in this world. And believe me the variations that are shown on this Christmas Market will not be topped by anything else...

Oh yes.. and that Dome and those lights and that River Rhine and those beautiful buildings and the friendliness of the people will make you feel welcome from wherever you are in the world and it will make you want to come back... there is so much to be seen in Strasbourg around Christmas time....

Summary: WELL WORTH IT - IF COMBINED WITH A SIGHTSEEING TRIP IN STRASBOURG
