There are many charming villages in Alsace, but Colmar stands out. Colmar is easy to confuse with a colorful holiday postcard — it looks magical at any time of the year. The walk around its territory takes just a couple of hours, but in your memory, it will linger forever.

In Colmar, you will doubtlessly encounter the Toy Museum, which conquers not only children’s but also adults’ hearts. It’s like getting into a fairy tale, and you probably understand how wonderful it would be. In the village, you can even hop on the famous gondolas in the Quarter of Little Venice. You did not expect this, did you?

Have you ever heard that Colmar represents absolutely all architectural styles? They create this authentic and cozy atmosphere that flies around the village. Let’s walk through the imposing churches: the Church of St. Matthieu, where the fight between Catholics and Protestants still goes on. Or the Church of St. Martin, which is also a symbol of the eighth century! And as for the Dominican Church… You just need to take a look.

Be sure to visit the Unterlinden Museum — one of the most legendary art museum in France, the Bartholdi Museum — the author of the New York Statue of Liberty, and finally, the Natural History and Ethnography Museum with incredibly unique exhibits, for instance, extinct plants or perfectly preserved skeletons of ancient animals from all over the world. But the calling card of Colmar is called the 500-year-old Pfister house, such an elegant mansion of a wealthy hatter. Discover Colmar!
