Mulhouse – a town with a history full of tradition
Here you’ll find the world’s most fantastic and prestigious museums in their fields. See for yourself: the Cité de l’Automobile – Schlumpf Collection (Automobile museum) and its 400 vintage cars, the Museum of Printed Textiles with 3 million samples gathered together in its archives, the Cité du Train (Railway museum) and its mechanical marvels, and the Ecomusée d’Alsace, one of Europe’s biggest outdoor museums.
But there’s a whole lot more to Mulhouse! The city has many parks and gardens, the most famous being the Zoological and Botanical Garden, which opened in 1869 (!). From the medieval city to the industrial era of the 19th century, this former republic’s exceptional heritage has earned it the “Town of Art and History” label. A walk round the different neighbourhoods is a must: from the villas of the 19th-century captains of industry to one of the first workers’ housing developments, via old factories made of brick or an old Rhenish Renaissance town hall. People here are very imaginative and love shopping: local designer boutiques sit alongside the big chain stores.
If you want to spend a wonderful day with your family and have lots of fun, there’s nothing better then the Parc du Petit Prince (Little Prince Park). And to round off your stay, how about an unforgettable encounter? Our Greeters, enthusiastic local volunteers, will give you a unique taste of the city, with a warm, authentic welcome.
