When you think of Alsace, you often picture the half-timbered villages, or cities like Colmar and Strasbourg. Yet Mulhouse is also worth a visit: heir to a rich industrial past, it has become a cultural and creative city where exceptional museums, urban art and heritage come together.
If you want to visit Mulhouse, you can't miss its institutions, which are unique in Europe: the National Automobile Museum - Schlumpf Collection, the SNCF Heritage Train Museum (the largest railway museum in Europe), and the Museum of Fabric Printing, which recalls the city's textile history.
The heart of Mulhouse is discovered around the Place de la Réunion, with its Renaissance Town Hall and the St. Stephen’s Church. The city also stands out for its vibrant street art, turning its walls into an open-air museum. For a gourmet break, head to the covered market.
Looking for greenery? The Mulhouse Zoo and Botanical Park covers 25 hectares and delights both children and adults. For a more unusual outing, the Écomusée d’Alsace immerses you in traditional village life, while the Electropolis Museum tells the story of electricity.
