I used to live in Neudorf in the cite universitaire and would regularly walk to Kehl to go to Woolworths…. familiarity and all that.
It took about 30 mins to get to Kehl from the end of Avenue Aristide Briand. You don’t need a passport either on foot or on the bus. The Pont d’Europe crossing the Rhine has wide footpaths on both sides which is good cos the traffic goes quite fast and I remember a cyclist being run over and killed on the bridge (N.B. if you’re cycling use the cycle path!).
I think the bus was a number 21 – but that was 2003! there are lovely gardens along the Rhine near the bridge on the German side – definitely worth a visit!

You’ve heard all about me, then – that list of bars is exactly the sort of thing I’m interested in !
One other thing : there’s another website where people are posting tips about how dangerous Strasbourg is – especially, it seems, around Place Kleber and the train station. I’m inclined to believe the claims may be somewhat exaggerated, but are there any areas I’d be better avoiding after dark ?

may i add that we did the majority of the bars in 6 weeks…..
i’d keep away from neuhof in general and there’s a bridge nr the stn somewhere thats meant to be the red light district… but i never had any trouble at all when i was there. despite cycling round half cut at 2am.
also if you’re staying in the centre or youth hostel i would def not recommend walking to kehl. the bus is the 21/22 i think.

Thanks for that – I’d hoped (and expected) as much, really…some of the posts on that website had me imagining a warzone more than anything else. Place Kleber sounds a very different – and much more likeable – than the description those people gave it !
I’ll keep away form Neuhof then – I’d have only been going in that direction to see Kehl, and I’m pretty sure I’ll take the bus now ;-) As for the train station – well, I’ll only be catching the train, of course ! (I’m sure that part of town will be full of politicians anyway !)
Thanks for all your help, it’s very much appreciated !
