Colmar
3 things to see
Colmar is Alsace’s most photogenic town, with half-timbered houses along canals, free-to-wander streets, and Christmas markets that draw visitors from across Europe. The old town and the Little Venice canal quarter cost nothing to stroll, which is the main reason to come. It pairs naturally with Strasbourg, an easy and cheap train hop up the line. Outside the December market crowds, spring and early autumn are quieter and easier on the budget.
