Boat Trip
Guided tour through the old Strasbourg: 20:00 – 21:30
Strasbourg mixes medieval charm with a dynamic, contemporary and international feel. At its heart is a fortified medieval town packed with ancient relics, from Place Kléber (the main square) to Place Gutenberg. At the centre, soaring over everything, is the gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral, notable for its pink sandstone façade and unique tower. And nearby La Petite France is the medieval quarter’s stunning crown jewel. Its picturesque bridges and canals, half-timbered houses and charming narrow streets contrast sharply with the modern clean-cut lines of the European institutions in the northeast of the city.
Meeting point(s):
- Group 1: Meeting Point: Exhibition area, Hilton Conference Hotel
- Group 2: Boat Landing Place (European Parliament)
While the official conference part is over at about 21:30, enjoy the evening in Strasbourg with your conference peers. We’ll have a restaurant listing in the exhibition area posted. There you can make appointments with others or you can check out who will be dining where. Join, network, enjoy! Note that no tables have been reserved by the conference organizers!
