🏛 Why Strasbourg is called The Capital of Christmas

Strasbourg’s Christkindelsmärik was first established in 1570, making it one of the oldest Christmas markets in the world.
For more than 450 years, the city has preserved this tradition and earned its official title: “Capitale de Noël” — thanks to its historic charm, luxury decorations, and magical festive atmosphere.

⛪ Strasbourg Cathedral (Notre-Dame de Strasbourg)

During the walking tour, you’ll also see the breathtaking Strasbourg Cathedral, one of Europe’s finest Gothic masterpieces, famous for:
• its 142-meter spire
• detailed stone carvings
• the astronomical clock
• glowing pink sandstone at sunset

At Christmas, the cathedral becomes even more enchanting, surrounded by lights, markets, and festive crowds.
