Colmar, France Travel Guide
Colmar is a charming little town in France that is worth a visit any time of year. I went during Christmastime and loved the markets. Here are my recommendations on things to do, places to stay, and restaurants.
Things to Do
Great any time of year, but especially lovely at Christmastime.
On this tour from Colmar, benefit from a small group size as you follow the Alsatian Wine Route, stopping to sample Alsace wines at a local wine cave (own expense), and visit the "Four Wonders of the Alsace"—the picturesque villages of Eguisheim, Kay...
Visit Christmas markets outside of Colmar. On this tour, browse for gift ideas among the pretty Christmas markets of Basel, Freiburg, and Neuf-Brisach, and cover France, Germany, and Switzerland in one day with ease.
The service includes the 45-minute chocolate workshop and 1h30 audio-guided tour of the museum.
Interesting museum about the man who designed the Statue of Liberty.
Make sure to visit the picturesque area of Little Venice
