What to do in Strasbourg when it's hot

In summer, days in the Alsatian capital can get pretty hot. Luckily, Strasbourg and its surroundings are packed with cool, refreshing activities! Picnic in a shady park, hop on your bike for a ride through the forest, take a dip in a swimming pool, splash around at a lake, paddle a canoe along the rivers, go wild at a water park, or wander through the woods…
There's more than enough to help you beat the heat and put together a varied program for several days. So, grab your swimsuit!
