Where to stay in Robertsau
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Robertsau gives a calm, residential base rather than a nightlife address. Nights stay quiet. The streets around église Saint-Louis de la Robertsau lie within a short ride of Strasbourg's old town, and suit visitors who want gardens and the Rhine forest over late bars.
Sports crowds fill the Rhenus Sport arena on the Wacken edge for big events. Rooms are limited, so most beds still cluster in the older city to the south.

About Robertsau
What are the main landmarks in Robertsau?
The quarter's own landmark is église Saint-Louis de la Robertsau, the Catholic parish church at its heart. Sport anchors the south. At the Wacken edge stands the Rhenus Sport arena, home ground for the city's basketball crowds.
A short way toward the University sit Strasbourg's scholarly collections, among them the Musée zoologique de la ville de Strasbourg and the Musée de minéralogie. St. Paul's Church, Strasbourg raises its twin spires over the Ill just beyond.
What is the history of Robertsau?
Robertsau grew up as a village of market gardeners on the damp lowlands north of walled Strasbourg. The gardens came first. Because Alsace passed repeatedly between France and Germany, the quarter still carries its older German name, Ruprechtsau, beside the French one.
Its low ground, threaded by the Ill and the Rhine's side-channels, kept it rural long after the walled city filled up. The Catholic parish gathered around église Saint-Louis de la Robertsau as the population settled.
Where is Robertsau?
The quarter fills the north-east corner of Strasbourg, set between the Ill to the west and the Rhine's water meadows to the east. Its southern edge runs into the Wacken and the Parc de l'Orangerie. Across the canals to the west lie Schiltigheim and Bischheim, the neighbouring communes.
The ground stays flat throughout.
