Self-guided rail weekend city break to Strasbourg from Basel

Strasbourg, a rail journey with railtour suisse

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.
