Strasbourg bike route
Imperial Neustadt
2 km from the shop — 9 minutes, on wide avenues.
The Neustadt starts 2 km from the shop, under ten minutes by bike. This 19th-century German quarter, UNESCO-listed alongside the Grande Île, is built of long straight avenues: it is the part of Strasbourg best seen by bike, because everything in it is spread out and flat.

Distance measured by us from 4 Rue du Faubourg-de-Saverne along the cycle network, rounded. Times are estimated at 14 km/h on a classic bike and 19 km/h on an e-bike. These are not GPS tracks.
Where to leave the bike
Racks on Place de la République and in front of the Palais Universitaire. The whole quarter is rideable: the bike stays with you.
Our tip
Chain it with the Parc de l'Orangerie: the Allée de la Robertsau leaves from the end of the avenue and adds 1.5 km on separated track.
