My Colmar adventure started at the Colmar Train Station, where the city’s charm was already evident. From there, I took a walk to the peaceful Parc du Champ de Mars.
Next, I visited the Dominican Church and the Église des Dominicains, both beautiful and full of history. Not far away, the Collégiale Saint-Martin de Colmar stands tall, showcasing medieval architecture.
Pl. de la Cathédrale was a great spot to experience local culture and admire the buildings. Then, I had some tasty pastries at Au Croissant Doré.
I explored Maison Schongauer and Koïfhus, both rich in history and architecture. The highlight was La Petite Venise, a picturesque area with canals and colorful houses.
Towards the end of my day, I saw the Fontaine Roesselmann and the Château d’Eau, adding the final touches to my Colmar trip.
Although I didn’t have time to visit Place du 2 Février, Bibliothèque Municipale de Colmar, Église Saint-Matthieu, The Village Hansi & Its Museum, Petit Train Touristique de Colmar (Vert), and the Unterlinden Museum, these places are on my list for next time.
If you ever visit Colmar during the holiday season, don’t miss the magical Christmas Market. The entire city transforms into a winter wonderland, with beautifully decorated stalls offering unique gifts, delicious food, and festive cheer. It’s an enchanting experience that adds an extra layer of charm to this already picturesque city.
After a day filled with beauty and history, I returned to the Colmar Train Station to catch my train to Basel. Every moment in Colmar felt like stepping into a living postcard, and I can’t wait to go back.
