Colmar is the fairy-tale version of an Alsatian Christmas: half-timbered houses, canals and decorated façades, with six markets spread through the compact old town. Highlights include the market on Place des Dominicains, the Koïfhus indoor market in the old customs house, the Alsatian specialities market on Place Jeanne d'Arc and the children's market in Little Venice.
Colmar is small enough to see in an afternoon and evening — or combine it with Strasbourg, about 30 minutes away by train, and the wine villages of Kaysersberg, Riquewihr and Eguisheim.
