Strasbourg

Self-guided rail weekend city break to Strasbourg from Basel

railtour suisse offers this two-day, one-night self-guided city break to Strasbourg, France, departing from the gateway city of Basel by second-class train. Strasbourg is often associated with its Christmas market, but the evidence notes the city 'can be visited all year round,' with sights that include the Strasbourg Cathedral, the Petite France quarter, the Neustadt and the European Quarter. The package covers the return train journey and one night in a 3-star hotel in Strasbourg. The trip suits independent travelers and couples looking for a short weekend of culture and food away from Switzerland, without a guided tour structure.

Price history

Across 4 checks, this price has risen CHF 90 since 4 Jul, to CHF 243.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 1 of 4 point is a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.

What to know before you look closer
