A great weekend in Mulhouse

Strolling around the heart of the city

The ideally sized city centre of Mulhouse is perfect for a stroll. Place de la Réunion Square alone makes a visit worthwhile. Surrounded by colourful houses with narrow façades, it charms visitors with its gorgeous buildings. Admire City Hall, a real jewel of the Rhine Renaissance, which will impress you with its trompe l’œil decorations. And don't miss Temple Saint-Etienne (a Protestant church) and the History Museum.

Next, you can simply meander through the many narrow streets of the historical centre. In particular, head for Rue Henriette or Rue des Boulangers, the most picturesque streets in town.

If you’re feeling brave, climb up to the very chic Rebberg quarter, located on the heights of the city. From this vista point, if the weather is clear, you’ll be able to see the Plain of Alsace, the Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest, plus a breathtaking view of the city.
