Mulhouse trip planner

An industrial town nicknamed "the French Manchester," Mulhouse is famous for its Peugeot factory, esteemed museums, Alsace wine, and cultural riches. A leisurely stroll along lower town's pedestrian streets brings you past the colorful façades of medieval houses set around Place de la Réunion, commemorating the town's reunion with France. Experience the flavor of Alsatian cuisine and wine in the city's numerous restaurants and cafés. This city on the German and Swiss borders has the modern convenience of a comfortable tram network and motorways connecting to cities within France and also to German and Swiss cities.

Mulhouse is famous for its two museums, which are the largest automobile and railway museums in Europe: the Cité de l’Automobile, also known as "Musée national de l’automobile," and the Musée Français du Chemin de Fer, also known as "Cité du train."

Here's a secret, fun way to sneak a peek at some of the gems of Mulhouse--tell your group to keep on the lookout for colorful frescos and murals all around town. You'll never know when you'll run into a new one--high up on the side of a building, deep in a gallery alleyway, tucked behind a courtyard wall, or perhaps in a garden space?
