Colmar

Painted houses, quiet canals and six Christmas markets in a storybook old town.

Perfect for

Couples

Families

Solo travellers

Colmar is small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes, and in December every lane of its old town glows. Six Christmas markets, canals lined with half-timbered houses and one of Europe’s great altarpieces sit at the heart of Alsace’s wine country, with the villages a short ride away.
