The main three - place Kléber, place Gutenberg and place de la Cathédrale - are all within a five-minute walk of each other. The cathedral square, with its cobblestones and timber-framed houses, is distinctly medieval; 18th-century Kléber square has an elegant spaciousness; and Renaissance-style place Gutenberg nicely bridges the architectural time gap. From late November through December, all three squares are the backdrop for Strasbourg's famous Christkindelsmärik (Market of the Child Jesus), a month-long street market dating from 1570, when the whole city glitters with light and smells of tantalizing spice. Address: place Kléber, place Gutenberg, place de la Cathédrale Bus: 11, 14, 21, 24; tram A,B, C, D Info: Christkindelsmärik, last week in Nov. through Dec.
