4Strasbourg
Strasbourg, in the Alsace region, offers solo travelers a unique blend of French and German influences. The city’s half-timbered houses, Gothic cathedrals, and canal-side streets create a fairytale setting. Solo travelers can wander around the Grande Île, a UNESCO World Heritage site, visit the impressive Strasbourg Cathedral, or enjoy the region’s famous white wines in one of the cozy winstubs (traditional wine bars). Strasbourg is especially magical in winter, when the city’s Christmas markets come alive with lights, decorations, and festive treats.
