Location : Alsace - France
The little town of Schiltigheim is bordering north the city of Strasbourg, the head city of the Region Alsace. Strasbourg is worlwide known for hosting European institutions ; its city-center and its german quarter (Neustadt) designated UNESCO world heritage sites ; its beautiful half-timbering houses of the Petite France ; its majestic gothic cathedral ; its most famous Christmas-Market ; its gastronomy ; its huge network of bicycle paths ; its big and good rated university, its dynamism and so much more...
Our B&B is located in the center of Schiltigheim, in a calm and pleasant area of small colored houses, with all useful facilities very close nearby (supermarket, bakery, pharmacy, post-office, tobacconist, bike rental, marketplace, restaurants....).
Its easy and quick to reach Strasbourg : you will be 3 km (1,9 miles) away from the very city center. It takes 10/12 minutes by bus (direct lines) or by bike. If you'd rather take your car, it will take approximately the same time to reach the city, but it's then complicated to run and park.
[!] From July 1, 2024, on-street parking will be subject to a charge. We are trying to enable our guests to benefit from our reduced resident rate, but as of July 1, the scheme is not yet up and running. We hope the problem will be resolved soon. When it is up and running, our guests will need to provide at least 8 days' notice: a copy of their vehicle registration document, license plate, vehicle color and brand.
The weekly rate for this resident pass should be €6.
