By train

After Paris, Strasbourg has second largest railway station in France offering a wide range of train connections with other parts of the country, as well as with Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands and other European countries.

TGV East Paris-Budapes / TGV Rhine-Rhone Hamburg Marseille

As from 2007, Strasbourg is connected to Paris with a special train called the TGV (train de grande vitesse - high-speed train). This means that instead of usual 4 hours of journey from Strasbourg to Paris, the two cities are now only 2 hours and 20 minutes apart. In addition, the time of travelling between Strasbourg and other European cities has been shortened considerately. If you're looking for the best price of train journeys, check out the night connections as they are usually the cheapest ones.

Strasbourg railway station, which is situated in the very town centre, provides a travel with 'Rhine-metro' which operates between Strasbourg and German city of Offenburg on a daily basis, and a fast travel around the province of Alsace with the TER Alsace regional rail network.
