Brief Itinerary
Begin your day where Strasbourg’s central Christmas market opens. Stroll the wide square where stalls are compact, pick up a warm drink or soft pretzel, and let little ones spot the giant tree and kid-focused stalls.
1h
Short, stroller-friendly visit to see the cathedral’s exterior, the festive nativity displays nearby and the astronomical clock (observe from the floor-level area so kids can see). Avoid the tower climb with small children; instead enjoy the square and a quiet interior walk.
1h
Classic Alsatian setting with hearty dishes and space for families at lunchtime. Request a table away from busy doors for a calmer meal; the menu includes simple dishes children like (tartes flambées, fries).
1h 15m
A gentle, 60-minute narrated ride that shows Strasbourg’s waterways and festive lights from the water — seats and shelter make it calm for napping kids. Choose the covered lower deck on chilly days.
1h
Leisurely 60–90 minute walk through Petite France’s car-free lanes. Pause for hot chocolate or a crepe at a café with high chairs and a relaxed pace for toddlers to explore sight-wise.
1h 30m
