Colmar

Colmar is an Alsatian city known for its colorful half-timbered (fachwerk) houses, canals, and well-preserved historic center. The Little Venice quarter features canals lined with houses boasting vivid facades, while narrow streets wind between squares, churches, and museums. Its location south of Strasbourg makes it ideal for a full-day trip and an introduction to a different side of Alsace, particularly its architectural and wine heritage.
