About Phalsbourg

Once defending one of the passes of the Vosges Mountains, Phalsbourg is an intriguing mountain town in Alsace. Around 25 miles from Strasbourg, this small community is home to around 5,000 people, and boasts a number of historic buildings. It’s also a great base for a hiking holiday in the Vosges mountains, close to the French-German border. Accommodation options include self-catering spots as well as charming little hotels, perfect for couples, friends or families. Our pick of the best places to stay in Phalsbourg highlights a foodie favourite, with two terrific onsite restaurants!

Stroll around central Phalsbourg to spot the Notre Dame Church, the History, Military & Erckmann Chatrian Museum — housed in the Town Hall — and to admire the imposing city gates. The town has been alternately French and German throughout its history, and its once-extensive fortifications were destroyed during a battle in late 1870. Phalsbourg’s twice-weekly market offers a wonderful opportunity to taste local produce, whilst families can challenge one another to a game at the 16-track bowling alley.

Venture into the Vosges Mountains for everything from hiking to paragliding. You can rock climb, mountain bike, horse ride, kayak, canyon and swim in fresh mountain lakes, or try cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter months. The best places to stay in Phalsbourg promise cosy evenings after big days of adventure.
