Batorama Boat Tour
Batorama
A glass-roofed sightseeing boat departing from the Palais Rohan quay, circling the Grande Île, passing through a lock and sailing all the way to the European Parliament.
Batorama is Strasbourg’s official sightseeing boat. It departs from the quay beside Palais Rohan and sails along the Ill River around the Grande Île, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Passing Petite France, it goes through a lock that raises or lowers the water level, then continues toward the Neustadt and the European Parliament building. The full trip takes about 70 minutes, with multilingual audio commentary. Tickets cost about 16 to 17 euros, so check the official website. During peak season and the Christmas period, book online in advance. Open-top sections are available in summer, and evening cruises are also offered. It is a good choice for the first day, when you want an overall impression of the city.
