Explore the Magical Christmas Markets of Alsace: A Private Full-Day Tour from Strasbourg

Discover the enchanting Christmas markets of Alsace, where the festive spirit has thrived since 1570. That year, Strasbourg hosted Europe’s first-ever Christmas market, the famous “Christkindelsmärik” (Market of the Infant Jesus). Today, the region is a winter wonderland, continuing its tradition of authentic, warm, and inviting holiday celebrations.

Morning Pick-Up and Departure from Strasbourg

Your magical day begins with pick-up from your centrally located Strasbourg accommodation. You’ll meet your friendly, English-speaking driver-guide, who will outline the itinerary of this exclusive private tour. Afterward, you’ll board a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and set off to explore the famous Alsace Christmas Markets.

Visit Colmar’s Historic Christmas Markets

Colmar is the first stop on your festive journey. Its historic town center transforms into a Christmas wonderland with stunning illuminations that enhance the charm of the town’s medieval and Renaissance architecture. 

Colmar is home to five distinct Christmas markets, each offering a delightful mix of holiday crafts, local delicacies, and holiday cheer. Stroll through the pedestrian-friendly streets with your guide, learning about the town’s history and traditions, before enjoying free time to explore the markets and perhaps sip on some mulled wine.

In the afternoon, you’ll continue your journey along the picturesque Alsace Wine Route, passing through some of the region’s most beautiful villages, each adorned with festive holiday decorations. 

Depending on the date of your tour, you’ll visit various Christmas markets in towns such as Riquewihr, Eguisheim, and the medieval-themed market in Bergheim. During early December, don’t miss the magical market in Ribeauvillé or the beloved Kaysersberg market, known for its charming atmosphere and unique local goods.
