Parc de la Citadelle is one of Strasbourg’s most atmospheric green spaces, blending history with leisure. Created on the site of Vauban’s 17th‑century fortress, the park preserves remnants of the old citadel walls and moats, offering visitors a glimpse into the city’s military past. Today, it is a haven for relaxation, with wide lawns, shaded paths, and playgrounds that make it popular among families and joggers alike. The park’s water features and bridges add charm, while its proximity to the university district ensures a lively, youthful atmosphere. As part of Strasbourg’s network of urban parks, the Citadelle reflects the city’s commitment to preserving heritage while providing open spaces for everyday enjoyment. It remains a place where history and nature meet, inviting locals and travelers to pause and reflect in a setting both tranquil and symbolic.
