La Petite France- Neighborhood next to the river Ill, full of typical Alsacien buildings and cobble stone streets. If you can't make it to any villages outside Strasbourg, then La Petite France is the next best thing.

Cathedral- Don't miss the Astronomical Clock dating from the 14th century or the memorial thanking the American solders. Also make sure your have a guide a book that came explain the outside sculptures.

Musée de L'Œuvre Nortre-Dame- Just next to the Cathedral. Full of church ruins from all over Alsace. Lots of winding stairs, be prepared to walk. Very little information in English. Note: All museums in Strasbourg are free the first Sunday of the month.

Musées du Palais Rohan- Made up of three museums, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Musée des Beaux-Arts and Musée archéolgique. Former Cardinal residence, just next to the Cathedral and bordering the river Ill. All three museums are worth a visit, with the Musée des Beaux-Arts being the best of the three.

Biking- If you're looking for a little exercise during your trip or are tried of walking, try biking. Fully one-fourth of the streets in Strasbourg have bike paths, this makes Strasbourg one of the most bike friendly cities in France. Related article: Biking in Strasbourg
