You will be amazed by the familiar atmosphere of this medium-sized city. With its traditional houses, its canals, its flower-filled alleys, its gastronomic diversity, its fine wines and its first-class hotels, Colmar brings together everything that makes up picturesque Alsace.
Strolling through the wide pedestrian street of the old Colmar, listed as a historical monument, you can marvel at a rich, well-preserved cultural, civil and religious heritage that dates from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. The picturesque Little Venice district attracts photographers from all over the world, and the Tanners' Quarter is recognizable by the large houses with their white facades.
Don't miss the magnificent Abbey Church of St. Martin, which will impress you with its numerous Gothic architectural details and its unusual colors.
Colmar is known for its traditional half-timbered houses, including many important town houses.
Magnificent examples are the Haus Adolf, the oldest in the city, or the Pfisterhaus (French: Maison Pfister) from the 16th century with a proud bay window, beautiful murals and a long wooden gallery.
Not forgetting the 17th-century Maison des Têtes, in German Renaissance style, whose façade is decorated with 111 masks and a three-storey bay window. They all contribute to the unique flair of Colmar.
