Our travel notes

Traveling to Strasbourg

Strasbourg can be reached via plane, train or car; some modes of transport are more convenient according to your place of origin.

The Strasbourg Entzheim international airport is located 10 km away from the inner centre, which can be reached thanks to shuttles that take you to the Central railway station in 9 minutes. Purchasing a combined ticket will allow you to then use the tramway network, which operates until 10 or 11 PM according to the days of the week. Domestic of international lines allow you to fly to Strasbourg.
Taking the train is a good option, as Strasbourg is well connected to the European railway network. It will take you just 2h25 to reach the European capital from Paris, or 4h30 from Brussels. The Central railway station is located a few steps away from the historical centre.
If you live in the neighboring regions, driving to Strasbourg can turn out to be a winning choice. If you cannot charter a whole bus for your group trip, try the regular bus lines that have been developing since the liberalization of the sector started- you will get affordable rates.

Hotels of all standards for all kinds of groups

WIth 770,000 inhabitants, Strasbourg ranks among the 10 biggest urban areas in France, and is definitely one of the most dynamic cities in the North-East. Obviously, as it hosts the European Parliament as well as numerous international organizations, it was dubbed the "Capital city of The European Union". It is no wonder that Strasbourg has so many hotels fully equipped for group accommodation. Let's take a tour of the main districts. Strasbourg's throbbing heart is located in a medieval ellipsis-shaped island around the Ill river, including such landmarks as the gothic Cathedral and Place Kléber. Westwards from the inner centre, you get to the Central railway station district, which mixes ancient with contemporary architecture. Southwards, Krutenau and Esplanande are both lively student districts. On the Western tip of the on the historical "island", which ranks among Unesco's World Heritage spots, the picturesque "Petite France" quarter casts its spell on tourists, with its canals, half-timbered houses and "winstub" restaurants. Eastwards, on the opposite side, the "Conseil des Quinze" area is encompassed in the Imperial "Neustadt" district, an expansion that was created at end-XIXth century. It harbors the European institutions - Parliament and Council - and the Orangerie Park; the city's biggest green area is posh and sought-after. Even farther East, Wacken is a developing international business area hosting the city's Convention and Exhibition Centre. Groupcorner helps you find the right group accommodation, perfectly suiting your needs in terms of location and facilities.

Class trips are wonderful memories of childhood or adolescence. They are full of moments of discovery and unforgettable conviviality that students rarely experience in school. It’s difficult for children to imagine how hard teachers work to organise a field trip. Arranging transportation, preparing visits and especially finding suitable lodging for a group of children or teenagers can be frustrating and exhausting. Groupcorner makes it easier for teachers to travel with their class or create a language training session in a European country.
