What to see in Colmar

This city keeps traces of medieval history and turbulent merchant past, and the combination of architecture of the XIV-XIX centuries gives it a unique charm. Walks along the embankments and quiet squares create a cozy mood, where each house seems to tell its story.

Manufactures and facilities

Among the man-made attractions of Colmar, the indoor market of the XIX century with local products and a lively atmosphere, the majestic Church of St. Martin of the XIV century and the Little Venice district with narrow canals and photogenic bridges stand out. Pay attention to the famous Maison des Têtes, ancient museums and memorial buildings, as well as the ancient bridges and cozy squares that make the city a real open-air museum.

Natural attractions and places

The natural pearls around Colmar are no less attractive: the vineyards of Alsace stretch in both directions from the city, forming the iconic landscapes of the Legendary Wine Road. Around there are green parks, picturesque river embankments and hills with the ruins of old Alsace castles, of which there are a lot in the region. These places are ideal for walking, picnics and photo shoots against the backdrop of wine terraces.
