In this unique setting surrounded by the Rhine River and canals, you will have the chance to find many delicious foods to suit your taste as well as many souvenirs. Our next stop is Riquewihr, a village in the Alsace region famous for its vineyards, flower-filled balconies, distinctive row of shops, pedestrian cobblestone streets, buildings that somehow survived World War II unscathed, and charming cafés; it also features a tower that houses the Dolder Museum, which preserves the town’s history through documents and brings to mind Grimm fairy tales. Riquewihr, the most visited village in the Alsace region, has a population of approximately 1,100 and is considered the pearl of the region, surrounded by vineyards. With the allure of the harvest festivals starting from mid-September every year, Riquewihr is decorated with typical German architecture, half-timbered pastel-colored houses adorned with flowers, and a gently sloping cobblestone main street called “Grand Rue” from the entrance gate up into the town. After completing our visit here, we return to Strasbourg and carry out our panoramic Strasbourg city tour. We are in Europe’s second most important city after Brussels in the European Union.
