Strasbourg

The French city of Strasbourg is situated along the border of France and Germany and because of its location, there's a strong blend of architectural and cultural influence from both countries. From this bridge view, you're able to capture a quaint scene of the town's half-timbered houses as they're reflected in the still water of this picture-perfect street.

This image of the half-timbered houses was taken from Pont Couverts, which is a bridge over the water in Strasbourg. For this perspective, I stood facing north east toward the houses. Strasbourg is a walkable city that is near the border of Germany. The easiest way to get to the city is to take public transportation. Closest station: - Strasbourg Station (via ICE, TER, TGV) - Head southwest on Place de la Gare - Turn left onto Rue du Maire Kuss - Turn right onto Quai Desaix - Slight left onto Quai Turckheim - Turn left to stay on Quai Turckheim - Turn right to stay on Quai Turckheim - Continue onto Ponts Couverts
