I loved this city! We stayed for one week, but could easily stay longer. What I love about this city is its beauty, walk ability and convenience to other places such as Germany, Switzerland and other parts of France, just to name a few. It’s a big, little city. It has an airport as well, for when you want to go further. The cost for groceries were not any different than other parts of France or Germany. There are many students here and a rich culture of Alsatian, German and French cultures interwoven. The orange park is a fantastic place to walk, relax and picnic. Getting around on the tram and bus is very easy. City center is highly touristy, so if you don’t want that, I advise staying a little further out of the area.

I stayed 4 months in Strasbourg. The city is very pleasant, the architecture is nice, there are lots of places to stay and chill out on the weekend or before/after work.
I strongly advise to live in the city center surrounded by a very nice river, which is not very big but very convenient because everything is less than 10 minutes away by foot.

The airbnb are not affordable but are in the average of the French cities. I got away with 870 euros for a studio the first month via airbnb and then negotiated to 700 for the next 3 months. The city is safe and there is a good atmosphere.

As far as work is concerned, I rarely go coworking but I like to work in coffee shops. There are not many in the city that are of good quality and have a big space to work. But there are some good spots and quality coffee shops like Coffee Stub : good coffee and nice atmosphere to work with your laptop (but no wifi).

For those who are not necessarily looking for a quality coffee, there are some nice Starbucks to work with your laptop.

Strasbourg is a city where it's good to live, it's a good place to settle down, it's quite cosmopolitan because there are many students. I lived in Japan and I was happy to see that there is a big Japanese community in Strasbourg.

In terms of walking around, we are not far from Germany and there are cities like Colmar which are cool for a relaxing/discovering day trip

I warmly recommend, it's a city that I really enjoyed in France.

Green is good. Red is bad. Values shown are the medians of all daily highs in a month based on past few years, not necessarily current numbers. Remote worker count is estimated based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Not all nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

Members who have been here

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Not all nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
