Set near the foothills of Vosges, Colmar is a rich destination worth exploring. It has a timeless, old-world ambiance that allows you to slow down and breathe for a moment to take it all in. This city used to be an essential medieval marketplace and a hub for art and education. This cultural heritage is still very much alive in every corner of its friendly, canal-side neighborhoods and quaint cobblestone streets. To learn more about the local arts and culture scene, visit Ancienne Douane, Eglise des Dominicains, and the Unterlinden Museum.

Tip from Content Creator
Visiting Colmar this winter? While you browse through this list of Airbnbs, note that there are only a few of them in the city, so book one a few months in advance to save on travel time. Here are some other travel tips:
Book restaurants in advance to avoid disappointment in not being able to get lunch or dinner space.
Want to catch the gorgeous sunset? Go to Colmar's La Petite Venice by early afternoon to see its river canals. Stay until night and watch the Christmas lights come on.
The old city closes by 8:30 or 9pm, so have an early dinner to appreciate the lights. Alternatively, wander the streets after dinner like we did. Take note: all shops are closed by then, including the Xmas market.
Tip from Content Creator
Before you book your accommodation, take note of some facts about Colmar, which has the most beautiful Christmas markets.
Best time to go: Visit from late November to December for the magical ambiance created by twinkling lights at the Christmas markets. But I recommend going in early mornings to avoid crowds.
How to get there: Take a train from Strasbourg or Paris.
Things to do: Colmar has multiple Christmas markets across town at Place Jeanne d’Arc, Place des Dominicains, Pl. de l'Ancienne Douane, and Petite Venise Colmar. Each one offers its unique charm and specialties, creating a magical holiday atmosphere.
Tips to visit in the winter: Go to the Christmas markets, wear layers to stay warm, and bring an extra battery because the chilly weather can drain your phone’s power quickly.
