Strasbourg bike route

European Parliament

3.5 km from the shop — 15 minutes on a classic bike, 11 on an e-bike.

The European Parliament is 3.5 km from the shop, about a quarter of an hour by bike. The route follows the canal towpath: after the first kilometre there is not a single traffic light, which makes it the smoothest ride in Strasbourg.

The route from the shop

  1. 1

    Pick up the Marne–Rhine canal north of the station and take the towpath east.

  2. 2

    Follow the canal as far as the Ill basin, leaving the centre on your right.

  3. 3

    The European quarter appears on the left: Parliament, Council of Europe and the Court of Human Rights follow one another over a kilometre.

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 by the visitors' entrance on Avenue du Président-Robert-Schuman. You can ride around the grounds; the building itself is visited on foot.

Our tip

Parliament only sits a few days a month; outside session weeks the quarter is quiet and you ride the basin almost alone.

Take the bike, the rest follows

City bikes and e-bikes five minutes' walk from the station. Helmet, lock and route map included, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
