Strasbourg is an important point on the map of Europe, both today and in the past. This particular town was actually fought over from the beginning. Until the twelfth year of our era, the town was ruled by the Gauls, but then it was forcibly captured by Roman legionaries. They erected a fort there for crossing the Rhine. For the next five centuries the Roman Empire successfully defended itself against barbarian attacks. However, in the year five hundred, they succumbed to the Germanic tribes, who, alongside the Asiatic Huns, captured the fort and renamed it from Argentoratum, a name they did not understand, to Stratœburgus, a town on the beaten road.
From then on, the city was ruled by the Franks. Or at least until the end of the seventeenth century. Then Louis XIV annexed Strasbourg to the Kingdom of France. Of course, this was not the end of the struggle for this particular town.
The rivalry between Strasbourg and the German town of Kehl, which competed for supremacy in the region, may be proof of this. It was only years later that cooperation was established and a bridge was erected between the cities. And it existed as a symbol of cooperation until World War II. And once the rumblings of the cannons ceased, it was erected anew, with European funds and the involvement of both sides. Since then, tens of thousands of cars a day have traveled over the bridge over the Rhine!
One of the best ways to get to Strasbourg, of course, in our opinion, is by bus. Our buses to Strasbourg stop at Place de l "Etoile. It's actually the very center, so leaving the deck of our bus in a quarter of an hour you can find yourself in the old town, admire the Notre Dame Cathedral and taste the local delicacies. And Strasbourg is famous for its amazing cuisine.
