Experience the Colmar Christmas Markets
As winter arrives, quaint wooden chalets transform squares and lanes across Alsace, signaling the start of the Christmas market season. In Colmar, this festive spirit is especially magical. The historic town center glows with fairy lights and decorations that blend harmoniously with half-timbered houses and centuries-old facades.
Enjoy free time to wander the pedestrian streets, discover five distinct Christmas markets scattered across the old town, and browse stalls offering handcrafted ornaments, artisanal products, and regional specialties. Follow the illuminated canals of “Little Venice,” sip a cup of spiced mulled wine, and sample seasonal treats such as bredele biscuits and gingerbread.
Explore Christmas Markets in Authentic Alsace Villages
In the afternoon, continue along the renowned Alsace Wine Route to discover Christmas markets in picturesque wine villages. The exact itinerary varies depending on the tour date and local market schedules, ensuring you visit the most atmospheric markets available on the day.
Stops may include villages such as Riquewihr or Ribeauvillé, whose medieval streets and timber-framed houses are adorned with lights, garlands, and nativity scenes. Stroll through narrow lanes lined with decorated stalls, taste local specialties, and feel the warm, traditional ambiance that has made Alsace famous for its Christmas celebrations.
