Rooms for rent in Strasbourg

The world-renowned powerhouse of Strasbourg at the German-French border is host to organizations as impactful as the European Parliament, Eurocorps, and the International Institute of Human Rights. For digital nomads who want to be coliving, coworking, and networking with international dignitaries, there are few more appropriate places. Remote workers of all professions will enjoy the fast Internet, readily available free Wi-Fi, and fascinating history of this city.
Strasbourg counts only 280,000 inhabitants yet as an industrial city, it is a hub of rail, road, and river transportation with a substantial river port. Its economy is built on manufacturing and engineering of goods from processed food to automobiles. These production sites contrast with the historical downtown area that was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 16th and 17th century timbered houses at Place du Marché-aux-Cochons-de-Lait are equally impressive and eye-catching, making them a photographer’s dream.

No list can do justice to the astonishing diversity of Strasbourg, but here are some fun facts:

- Strasbourg dates back to a Roman camp and is over 2000 years old.
