[2025 Eguisheim Attraction] Travel Guide for Eguisheim (Updated Mar)

Eguisheim, a town right after Colmar, like a 10mins drive is another medieval village in the popular Alsace wine region. You will be able to against see the cobbled streets but the difference here are the really narrow streets with the well mantaoned timber houses at each side of the street reminding me of Italy or like games like counter strike where there are so many narrow allies everywhere. As now in August - September fall period the weather is perfect, dry crisp air, no rain, making every spot a perfect photoshot especially when the sun shines into the town at a angle. And of course if you are a wine lover, so visit one of the many wines located all around Eguisheim as you will notice there are many vineyards located outside of this quiet little town. At night, when the sun sets, the streets light up make this another picture perfect spot where the canels reflects the lights and the medieval buildings making this also one instaworthy romantic scenic photo spot! #fallingforfall #medieval #france #town #oldtown #wineyard #eguisheim

#magicalxmastrip Today we drove about an hour to go to Eguisheim in France where most of the town is decorated for Christmas. It’s not elaborate like Strausbourg but utterly charming, from the colorful timbered homes to the quaint decorations - I loved it so much. I love all the Nativity crèches tucked here and there. There are storks’ nests on the tops of buildings - you can see one on the church steeple. Dave saw one fly overhead but I missed it. We were going to try to go to other town’s markets but Eguisheim was so perfect to me that we didn’t need to brave the crowds to go to any others in this region of France for now. I highly recommend it!

Eguisheim is a very petite town, and like Colmar, it is known as a 'town of flowers'. Both are listed among the most beautiful towns in France. Unfortunately, due to the cold weather during our visit, the flowers had not yet bloomed, so it didn't feel very beautiful 😁 However, this town can be visited together with Colmar since it is only 7.5 kilometers away. A taxi from Colmar to the town costs 15 euros. The center of Eguisheim is essentially a concentric circle with a diameter of 300 meters. A stroll around the town, including time for photos, takes at most one hour! When we arrived, it was cloudy and rainy, and the photos we took were dull and not very pretty. But just before we were about to leave, the sun came out for a while, so I quickly went around for a reshoot. Thankfully, the town is not too big!
