Strasbourg Cathedral

A Family Highlight on Our Christmas Trip Rating: ★★★★★ Traveling with two young children (ages 6 and 9) during the Christmas market, we needed attractions that could hold their attention, and the Cathedral delivered. The kids were completely mesmerized by the sheer size of the building, joking that it must be where Santa stores his sleigh. We focused our visit on the Astronomical Clock (which they studied in awe) and searching for specific animals and figures carved into the exterior, turning it into a fun scavenger hunt. The security guards were patient and friendly, which is always a bonus when you have excited children. The Nativity scene was a major highlight for them, and the relatively quiet interior was a welcome break from the market noise. If you are planning a family visit to the Strasbourg Christmas Market, budgeting time for a quiet, awe-struck walk through the Cathedral is an absolute must-do activity.
