Motorhome & Campervan hire in Strasbourg

Strasbourg has something different to offer visitors year-round. In the spring months, the city bursts into colour with fantastic flower displays. From May to September, the tourist season ramps up, with many events enticing visitors into the city, including the Strasbourg marathon in May and a variety of music events hosted from June onwards.

For hiking and cycling enthusiasts, the milder autumn temperatures are ideal for exploring more of the Alsace region, while the Film Festival in the city is sure to be a hit with any movie enthusiasts.

But for Christmas lovers, November to December is the time to visit as Strasbourg’s world-famous Christmas market opens.

The good news is that no matter what time of year you plan to visit, when you hire a campervan in Strasbourg from roadsurfer, you can be confident that it is equipped for year-round adventures.

If you’re planning to hire a campervan in Strasbourg, you might be wondering how easy it is to park in and around the city. Fortunately, Strasbourg is incredibly accessible to campervans and motorhomes, and you can usually park without any problems.

Like any city, parking charges apply in some locations, and wherever you park, you must always ensure your vehicle doesn’t block the pavement or road.

But if you’d rather explore without having to navigate through city streets, the Park + Ride car park in Elsau allows you to park up and catch a bus into and out of the city when you’re ready.

Experiencing the city’s unique culture: From charming cobblestone streets and traditional wooden houses to striking modern architecture, there is plenty to see in Strasbourg. Top sights include the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Historical Museum, the European Parliament, the Modern and Contemporary Art Museum and the Rohan Palace Museum.

Making the most of the foodie culture: A real feast for the tastebuds, Strasbourg is home to everything from homely cafes and bakeries where you can grab a quick breakfast to top-notch restaurants offering full-tasting menus. But if you’re planning to cook in your camper, we recommend visiting La Nouvelle Douanne, an indoor farmer’s market where you can stock up on all the essentials for your road trip.

Getting active in Alsace: The Alsace is a paradise for keen cyclists with over 2,500km of cycle trails to explore, while winter sports lovers can make the most of the Vosges with downhill and cross-country skiing, sledging, snowshoeing, and much more on offer throughout the winter months.
