Wissembourg Travel Guide: 77 reviews and 361 photos

Wissembourg is a very pretty town in Alsace close to the German border. There is parking in the center. While in Alsace you should taste the "Flammkuchen" which is delicious and thinner than a pizza. Wissembourg is best to be explored by foot.

As in all places look out for your own favourite!

It's probably best to visit Wissembourg in warm weather as you can see all the lovely flowers and sit outside in a café.

Wissembourg and Flammkuchen are among my favorite spare time activities :-) After all, it's not too far from where I live, so we frequently visit there. Delicious little page.

Thanks for the report, YumYum. L'Espérance also sells the fine local wine by the bottle/case (from the Cave de Cleebourg) We had reservations elsewhere, but the food smelled heavenly and was definitely a "locals" favorite.

Hi Sonja, I remember visiting Wissembourg years ago. We ate snails at one of those nice Alsatian restaurants.
