Strasbourg is most easily explored on foot, and the historic city centre can easily be explored in a day or two. To be able to cover more ground, you should consider hiring a bike or using the public transport network.
By Bus And Tram
Buses and trams in Strasbourg are operated by the Compagnie des Transports Strasbourgeois CTS (http://www.cts-strasbourg.fr/). A few dozen numbered bus lines and six tram lines named A to F serve the city. A single ticketing system covers both bus and tram. Tickets are sold in 'tabacs' newsagents, tourist offices, CTS boutiques or from vending machines at tram stops. Tickets should be validated before use, either in the machines on tram station platforms or in the machine by the driver when you board the bus.
