Bas-Rhin stretches along the Upper Rhine in eastern France and is a favorite destination for vacations with family and friends. The pretty capital city of Strasbourg offers a wide array of Bas-Rhin vacation rentals alongside its must-see attractions, while those who are happy to look further afield might just find a special spot amid the rolling countryside's mix of half-timbered villages and verdant forests. The diverse landscape makes the region a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts, although a myriad of historic chateaux, world-class wineries and a generous helping of gastronomic flair means everyone can kick back and do their thing.
Take a short drive west of Bas-Rhin vacation rentals in Strasbourg and you'll find many of the region's wineries and vineyards, clustered amid the fertile landscape of Westhoffen. Full and half-day tours are readily available from the city, sparing would-be wine connoisseurs the drama of finding a designated driver. Of course, if you're traveling with kids, you may need to skip the leisurely vineyard tours in favor of action-packed trips to the Friedel Animal Park, in Illkirch-Graffenstaden and, for younger kids, Kintzheim's Cigoland Amusement Park. The latter has free-roaming storks alongside its rides and is home to 5 aviaries.
Bas-Rhin is the sort of place that reveals a new delight around every corner, though hanging out in Strasbourg, at least for a little while, is something of a must. Guided sightseeing tours take in the likes of the Gothic Cathedrale Notre-Dame, the 18th-century Palais Rohan and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Grande Ile. Many travelers like to simply explore the city at their own pace, perhaps taking the time to stroll along the waterfront and do a little shopping, before settling down to enjoy a picnic lunch at the University of Strasbourg's peaceful botanical garden.
Outdoor living abounds in Bas-Rhin, not least at the Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park, a tranquil space in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains, where some 120,000 hectares of diverse landscape includes everything from wetlands to woodlands. Little wonder that UNESCO saw fit to proclaim the area a world biosphere reserve. Whether you want to climb the park's sandstone cliffs and rocky crags, catch a glimpse of stags and wild boar, or take things at a slower pace as you look out for the ruins of castles from yesteryear, you'll find no shortage of adventure awaits.
The nearest airport is in Strasbourg (SXB-Strasbourg Intl.), located 7.8 mi (12.5 km) from the city center.
If you prefer to travel by train, Dachstein Station, Duttlenheim Ernolsheim-Bruche Station and Molsheim Station are the main stations that serve the city. You can get around Bas-Rhin by jumping on the metro at Cervantes Tram Station, Dante Tram Station or Hopital de Hautepierre Tram Station.
