Things To Do in Alsace
Colmar
City Centre: Be sure to stroll through the city center. Go to Saint Martin's Collegiate Church by crossing Rue des Tanneurs. On the way, you’ll discover shops where you can find authentic artisanal products and popular eateries. Make a stop in Rue des Marchands to admire Pfister House, a historic monument of the city. Little Venice: Go to the bridge in Little Venice to admire the city’s most romantic view. If you have time, climb aboard a flat-bottomed boat and enjoy a ride through Little Venice. You’ll discover the city from a different angle, exploring every nook and cranny and appreciating its lush greenery, picturesque architecture and charming décor. Unterlinden Museum: Housed in a former convent, the museum holds amongst its collections the famous Isenheim Altarpiece. Continue your visit through an underground gallery. Go into the former Municipal Baths, which now house the museum’s contemporary wing with works by major artists such as Monet, Picasso and Dubuffet.
Wine Route
The wine route expands all through Alsace. If you have a car, we recommend stopping in one (or multiple!) of the most picturesque villages along the wine route: Beblenheim, Bennwihr, Hunawihr, Mittelwihr, Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé and Zellenberg. These are located near Colmar. Culinary delights and the pleasures of wine will set the pace of your excursion. Meander your way through the wine country, and experience the enchantment of the landscape with its lush, postcard-perfect vineyards. A moment of replenishment and freedom, set against the backdrop of the Plain of Alsace and the first hint of the Black Forest.
