Tips from the community
Visiting Colmar in nNortheastern France is like walking into a real-life fairytale. The city hosts six Christmas markets in its historic city center, where its buildings that date from the Middle Ages to the 19th century are decked in holiday cheer. Colmar Christmas Market is divided into mini villages, each featuring artisans like ceramicists, milliners, hatters, and glass makers from France’s Alsace region and chefs selling treats like foie gras, schnapps, and bredalas (Christmas biscuits).

Colmar is located near the German border of France, incorporating some aspects of German culture and visual design. Colmar is made up of walkable canals, cobblestone paths, and pale rainbow-colored buildings featuring German-influenced architecture. A destination like no other, Colmar is like a fairytale come to life in the spring- endless blossoms, clear weather, and an atmosphere of cheer sprinkled throughout the peaceful town.
