No budget hotels available in Dec weekends and train to Brussels
I am dismayed to find that all the budget hotels seem to be full the weekend of Dec. 4. Is that because of the Christmas markets?
Since I can't find an affordable room on Friday Dec 4, I thought we'd go to Brussels earlier in our itinerary than planned, but I am having difficulty planning this route. I'd like to leave early evening 12/4 from Strasbourg to either Brussels or Gent (or alternately, stop in Luxemberg City for the night, catch a couple of sight in the morning, and continue on). Has anyone done this? Can you please advise me for cheapest and quickest options? Many thanks!

Re: No budget hotels available in Dec weekends and train to Brussels
www.booking.com still has some reasonably-priced rooms for Strasbourg that weekend (from 72 euro per night for a double) but there is clearly something afoot, as most hotels are indeed unavailable.
Have a look at
http://www.bahn.de/international/view/en/index.shtml
It will give you train times and details in English (it lists data for almost all European trains) so you can work out where you want to go, and how long it will take.
For fares from France you are probably best to look at
http://www.voyages-sncf.com/billet-train/horaires
which is in French but easy to work out. www.sncf.com wil just redirect you to Raileurope, and they charge commission (and don't list all possible trains either).
You could go by coach, which may be cheaper but will take much longer (7 hours). And the coaches leave at 0500 or 2330, which is not much fun. Info here:
http://www.eurolines.fr/?lang=ENG
I suggest you use bahn.de to explore the train options.
Re: No budget hotels available in Dec weekends and train to Brussels
Thanks for the tip about booking.com. I was able to reserve the last room at Hotel Pax. I find you are right that the bahn website is easy to read, though it looks like it will take 5 hours to get from Strasbourg to Brussels. I had hoped there would be a high speed train.
Thanks again!
Re: No budget hotels available in Dec weekends and train to Brussels
You'll have time to read a good book during that long journey.
Re: No budget hotels available in Dec weekends and train to Brussels
It is indeed 5+ hours, and it is a fast train......but it is also a very long way. And the trains make other stops betwen the two cities (you can see these if you click the arrow by the departure you want, and then 'show internediate stops'.
The very high speed trains can only run on special tracks. If the tracks do not exist then the highest speeds cannot be attained.

Welcome to VT, Kimandre.
There is every reason for the OP (or anyone) to post here. VT forums are helpful and friendly places, where members give as much advice and information as they can.
By posting here the OP found a hotel, as well as gaining information about train and coach transport.
So it was very much worthwhile posting.
Re: No budget hotels available in Dec weekends and train to Brussels
My post above was in reply to a new member who made an unpleasant posting (several, actually, on different threads). He/she has since been deleted.
Re: No budget hotels available in Dec weekends and train to Brussels
A troll, I'm afraid.
But my reply above looks a bit odd without the comment to which I was replying, so I thought I'd explain! :-)
Re: No budget hotels available in Dec weekends and train to Brussels
Thank you all again for your kind assistance (and for slaying the trolls!) I am so excited to visit Strasbourg!
Travel Tips for Strasbourg
Le Petite France, Pont Couverts
In the extension of Le Petite France district are the Covered Bridges. They kept their name in spite of the disappearance of their roofing in the XVIII century. They are dominated by four towers of the XIV century, vestiges of the former battlements, guarantors of the independence of the Strasbourg republic. Immediately after the uniting of Strasbourg to France in 1681, a new belt of fortifications was constructed by Vauban.
It was early...
It was early, and I stopped to take a photo of the facade of 'Au Vieux Strasbourg' when all of a sudden out pops this friendly, little man wearing a jaunty scarf who, with his companion, had been out walking the dog. Well, he suddenly got all excited and rushed up to me, babbling something about him being a 'Television Celebrity' and since I was obviously a fan and taking his photo ????? did I want his autograph as well. How could I resist? Unfortunately I did'nt have any paper, so I let him sign my cigarette package.(how very French, huh?) To this day, I still have no idea as to 'who' he is, but I don't think I'll ever forget him. My cultural tip is this: In France, If 'it' happens; let it, because I'm sure it would'nt happen anywhere else.
The European Court for Human Rights
This strange, tin box looking, building situated on the Bassin de l'Ill (on the intersection of Quai Ernest Bevin and Allée des droits de l'homme) hosts the European Court for Human Rights (Cour Europeenne des Droits de l'Homme).
The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms was created with the Council of Europe, based on the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it was signed in 1950 and became effective in 1953.
Any of the contracting states/countries (45 in 2005) or any individual claiming to be a victim of a violation of the convention by a contracting state may lodge an application directly with this court.
Guided tours are available for groups and individual visits can be authorised but the visits of the Court are aimed at an informed audience ( jurists, lawyers, law students, groups of schoolchildren motivated by a research work done on the Court.) and are to be booked in advance.

ENGLISH VERSION A good way to...
ENGLISH VERSION A good way to get around the city, is to take bus & tramway. A single ticket costs around €1 and stands for one hour. You can buy some by using slot machines, directly to the driver, or in the 'Bureaux de tabac' (tobacco shops).
VERSION FRANCAISE Le bus et le tramway sont de bons moyens pour se ballader en ville. Il est possible de se procurer les tickets dans des distributeurs automatiques, dans les bureaux de tabac ou directement auprès du chauffeur. Le prix du ticket tourne autour d' 1 €.
