Alsace is rewarding throughout the year. Spring and autumn are excellent for vineyard scenery, wine villages and milder sightseeing temperatures. Summer is well suited to outdoor activities, food and wine experiences, while late November and December are especially popular for Strasbourg, Colmar and village Christmas markets. The Alsace Wine Route is particularly lively from early August to mid-October, when many wine villages host harvest-season events.

Christmas markets in Alsace generally open from late November through December, although exact dates and opening times vary by town and change each year. Strasbourg, Colmar and many Wine Route villages host markets, but smaller villages may open only on selected days or weekends. Confirm the official programme before making travel arrangements. Strasbourg’s Christmas market dates back to 1570.
It is possible to visit both Strasbourg and Colmar in one day, especially with a guided tour or private driver, but a full day is recommended. Strasbourg and Colmar are linked by direct trains, and the journey takes about 30 minutes.
