Car Hire in Strasbourg Rail Station - Mini guide to Strasbourg Rail Station

Strasbourg Rail Station

Strasbourg is a city that has always been unique, due largely to its location on the French-German border. It is set on the Rhine River, a waterway more associated with Holland and Germany than with France. The city is a mix of French and German styles, and today it has grown to become the seventh largest city in France.

The rail connections to the Strasbourg Rail Station are as modern and convenient as would befit a town of its stature. A TGV line to Paris links the two cities in less than two and a half hours. A new high-speed route will continue through Strasbourg to the German city of Vendenheim in 2010.

The city embraces its bicultural nature, and with a little Teutonic inspiration, some excellent architecture has been built here. The entire city centre was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1988. The city’s main landmark is the stunning Cathédrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg. There are also some good examples of more German style architecture side by side with the French.

Strasbourg is an important cultural centre with appropriately historic and well-built buildings to house the various art forms that are on show here. The Rhine National Opera provides high society entertainment as does the National Theatre. The state library, la Bibilotheque Nationale et Universitaire is the centre of the city’s academic life.

The city also sits on the international line between Hamburg and Milan, giving Strasbourg an enviable geographical position that puts the rest of Europe at its fingertips. Car hire is available at the Strasbourg Rail Station and at many points in town, making driving in and out of Strasbourg as convenient as the train.
