Spring in Strasbourg: Cherries and Magnolias in Bloom, 9 Places

Mild temperatures and fewer crowds make spring in Strasbourg the perfect time to explore the capital of Alsace.

One of our favorite things to do during this time – walk from one spot/park/square to another and enjoy the pink and white flowers.

Best time for blossoms

The timing of spring blooms in Strasbourg depends on the flower and weather, but generally:

Mid-March to early April: for cherry trees and magnolias
