The tourist office can provide a map (3F/?0.46 for the one with all the museums and sights marked on it; free otherwise), but be warned - several of the street names are not marked. However, it's a nice town to lose yourself in. Visible throughout the city is the magnificent filigree spire of the pink cathedral that dominates not just the city but most of Alsace; it is to the south of this building that you'll find the cream of the museums. To the north of here, place Kléber is the heart of the commercial district, and, to the west, place Gutenberg is nominally the main square. About a fifteen-minute walk west on the tip of the island is Petite France , where timber-framed houses and gently flowing canals hark back to the city's medieval trades of tanning and dyeing.
