Described by Frommer’s as ‘one of the most attractive towns in Alsace’, Colmar is situated in east-central France, in a border region that was once disputed between France and Germany. The city is renowned for its well preserved old town, its numerous architectural landmarks and its museums, among which is the Unterlinden Museum with the Isenheim Altarpiece. Colmar is also one of the gateways to the Alsace Wine Route.
Colmar the capital of the Haut Rhin offers a great deal of unique attractions and activities. The small town of Colmar is one of the most exquisite of France with its historic center, grand rue, quai de la poissonnerie, st martin's church, medieval half timbered houses such as the “maison des tetes” and small winding canals. The town also houses one of the most impressive 16th century painting – the Issenheim Altarpiece - that is located in the Unterlinden Museum.
Visit Colmar with a licensed tour guide
Follow a 2 hour guided walking tour with an Expert English speaking licensed guide to discover all the main highlights this beautiful city has to offer. Departing from your hotel or the local Colmar Tourist Office and reach the historical center.
Discover the rich heritage of this charming small town. Your tour will certainly lead you to the “Maison des Tetes”, an outstanding German Renaissance building and to the Little Venice neighborhood where gorgeous traditional half timbered houses are lined along the Lauch River.
Other significant landmarks include:
The Koifhus: This is the Old customs building strategically located at the crossroads of the Grand'Rue and the rue des Marchands. The building dates back to the early 15th century and was used as the meeting place of the deputies of the Décapole which was the federation of the 10 imperial cities of Alsace.
The Pfister House: This is the first example of Renaissance architecture in Colmar. From the outside the building still retains some medieval features but its storey corner oriel, its galleries, its octagonal turret and its mural paintings are perfect examples of the changes that were taking place in those days. The house is named after the family who restored it in the last quarter of the 19th century.
Saint Martin church: The construction of the Church lasted for more than 100 years from 1235 to 1365 and is a perfect example of local Gothic architecture. For a number of years the Church was considered by the locals as their Münster or Cathedral. In fact, the Church was a Cathedral for only about 10 years.
Note: We can include the visit and guided tour of the Unterlinden Museum that houses world famous Isenheim Altarpiece. If you would like to include the visit of the museum you must make that particular request at time of booking. Entrance tickets will be available during the booking process.
