Strasbourg is also home to some of the most modern buildings in Europe.
The European Parliament,
The European Court of Human Rights
and The Council of Europe.
Each of the five buildings are named after distinguished European Politicians.
You can reach the Parliament Buildings by Tram
or Cycle along one of the many Bike Paths in the City -
Or take a leisurely stroll from your Hotel
(If it happens to be on 'that side of Town").
Otherwise You can take a Scenic Cruise up the Ill River on one of the Tourist Batorama Boats. Unfortunately you can't get off the Cruise as it is a 'there and back again' deal.
Walking around the perimeter brought us to the Tram Stop and a view of the controversial 60 mt Tower which has been deliberately left unfinished at the top.
It is not hard to see that the Architects were influenced by Roman Amphitheatres when designing the building.
It is possible to arrange a visit to the European Parliament - or if you happen to be around in May, you can come to the Open Day.
