• Strasbourg

    September 20, 2024 in France ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Another relaxing day in this pretty city. We bought a one-day museum pass, and hit four museums! First up we went to the city of Strasbourg history museum, then the Alsatian museum (in a very cool old building).

    Then lunch - we hit up a fast-casual bowls & wraps place. Food was fine, but we've noticed that fast-casual today and yesterday cost almost as much as sitting at a brasserie and having a better meal (plus beer/wine)....only a few euros more, and a much better experience.

    After lunch, we still had an hour to kill before the other museums reopen (almost everything is closed 1-2). So we found a pretty square with cafes, and sat an nursed a drink and watched the world go by - lovely.

    More museums - we went to the Rohan Palace, which houses the fine arts museum, and the decorative arts museum (mostly just walking through the furnishings of the old palace, like a mini Versailles). We skipped the archeology museum in the basement. Now siesta time for us. Legs are still a bit tired from our 2 weeks of walking!
