#myhiddengems There often tends to be that question among travellers headed to the Alsatian region. Should they do Strasbourg or Colmar? I think i might be able to answer that because i visited both those places and explored them for two nights each. Straight up, if you have the time I would recommend both the towns. And if you were to pick, you see that should depend on what you seek from the destination. Strasbourg is a more lively city with a rich history and dynamic culture. While my personal favourite would be Colmer for its slow paced life, serene landscapes, charming architecture and excellent wine. Mostly, i recommend the Alsace region because it is way more value for money like in the case of Colmar. I spent a lot less and did equally or more things compared to other regions. The friendly locals are a relief too. In terms of sightseeing, broadly what you'd be looking at is the Old Town & Place de la Cathédrale, Little Venice, boat trip and the krutenau street and Quai de la Poissonnerie. #myhiddengems #alsace #colmar #summerdestinations #europe #france #100waysoftravel #solotrip #cherryblossom2024 #singapore

✨A French fairy tale town, it's like stepping into Howl's Moving Castle✨ 🪄When you see the town in this picture, do you feel a sense of déjà vu? If you are familiar with Hayao Miyazaki's work 'Howl's Moving Castle', then this scene will not be unfamiliar to you😉. Remember when Sophie was walking alone on the path, being teased by two soldiers, and Howl descended from the sky like a hero🕺, with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a cloak, appearing beside Sophie. He took Sophie dancing in the air above the town, lightly stepping over the rooftops, overlooking the entire town, everything was dreamily beautiful💕. 👧The most impressive to me was the scene where they danced in the air🎈, those rows of pointed timber-framed houses, scattered in an orderly fashion, looking down from above, both romantic and spectacular🎆. And this scene is not a figment of Grandpa Miyazaki's imagination, its prototype is the town of Colmar on the Alsace Wine Route in France! Compare the pictures, isn't it almost identical😲! Those timber-framed houses are just like two peas in a pod! Here, it seems that you can see Howl carrying Sophie flying over the rooftops🕊️! 🏡Over the past millennium, the Alsace region has changed hands between France and Germany several times, its history is an epic of German-French contradictions and integration📚. Speaking of Alsace, does it feel familiar to you🤔? Let's read the text below together and see if it can evoke fragments of your memory📃: 'After the grammar lesson, we started the handwriting class📝. That day, Mr. Hamel gave us new copybooks, all with beautiful round script: 'France' 'Alsace' 'France' 'Alsace'. These copybooks hung on the iron rods of our desks, like many small national flags fluttering in the classroom🚩. Everyone was so focused, the classroom was unbelievably quiet🎵!' 'The Last Lesson' cast a melancholic and solemn hue over Alsace😢. But in fact, before the 17th century, the Alsace region belonged to the Holy Roman Empire (the predecessor of Germany), and people mainly spoke German📄. After the famous Thirty Years' War in Europe, Alsace came under French rule. And in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, France was defeated, and Alsace belonged to Prussia, until Germany was defeated in World War II, Alsace returned to the arms of France💪, and formed the current border between the two countries along the Rhine River🗺️. 📖If cities can also be mixed-race, then Colmar is undoubtedly a beautiful town with German-French mixed blood🌸. Carefully calculated, this place belonged to Germany for a longer time than it belonged to France. This also explains why Colmar's architectural style is full of Germanic charm🏰, those timber-framed houses and the magnificent Gothic churches with pointed spires all bear strong Germanic marks🎨, as well as many street names with German suffixes and the dialect mixed with German and French, all have a reasonable explanation🤝. ✨Colmar also has many attractions worth visiting🎡, such as the Little Venice area, where the waterways crisscross, and the colorful timber-framed houses are reflected in the water, picturesque🖼️; there is also the Unterlinden Museum, which displays the rich history and culture of the Alsace region📜; and the Saint Martin Church, whose towering spires and exquisite carvings are awe-inspiring👏. Come to Colmar and experience the unique charm of this fairy tale town💖!

🛍️ ✈️ Colmar is a beautiful town in the north eastern France, near Germany’s border. I love all the well-reserved buildings in the old town. Housing in these buildings are beautiful boutique shops and restaurants where you can get something unique originating from this Alsace area. Even the souvenir shops are so cute with many handcrafted gift representing Colmar. #shopandtrip

When I first read about the fairytale village of Colmar, I knew I had to visit. Located in the Alsace region along the border between France and Germany, Colmar is known for its colorful houses and the cutest Christmas market. Wandering the streets of Colmar is like stepping into a fairytale. It is said that it was the inspiration for Beauty and the Beast, and there is even a fountain that looks like the one in the movie.

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

Erected from 1235 on the site of a previous building, this collegiate church is the most imposing Gothic church in Middle Alsace. The south facade of the transept, with the Saint Nicolas portal, is the finest part. The strange roofing of the tower replaces a spire which collapsed following a fire in 1572. As the seat of the constitutional bishopric of the Haut-Rhin district during the French revolution, Saint Martin had cathedral status during that period. The church’s silhouette, with its single bell tower, is particularly recognisable from neighbouring districts. It’s extremely beautiful inside too. Look carefully at the amazing stained glass panels and the 2 large organs at the marvelous altar here. #bucketlistreboot

At the heart of the Alsace Wine Route, Colmar is very well located and while it may not be the capital of Alsace, it remains one of its top tourist destinations. The Colmar Little Venice district in the old town gathers colourful half-timbered houses neatly lining cobblestone streets and walkways, set along a peaceful canal. The name “Little Venice” generally refers to a particular spot in the center. It is an old and picturesque area where the canals that cross the city are concentrated. Here every house has a different color and visitors are immersed in a fairy-tale world. #bucketlistreboot

Nestled among vineyards, its traditional houses, canals, floral displays, amazing cuisine, famous wines and charming accommodation make Colmar an outstanding microcosm of Alsace – showcasing its lifestyle, conviviality and hospitality – the key features of its unique, exceptional welcome. The capital of the Alsacian wines, situated near Germany and Switzerland between the Vosges and the Rhine, Strasbourg and Mulhouse, offers visitors an exciting glimpse of 1000 years of European history. Besides, with its 67,000 inhabitants, Colmar retains a 'country town' atmosphere which contributes so much to its charm. Wonderfully preserved from the ravages of time, its homogenous historical centre is classed as a 'protected area' and has benefited from careful restoration and ongoing improvements for more than 20 years. #eurotrip

Saying goodbye to this beautiful and romantic city. I love to stroll around this place. Colmar, France. Full of historical and architechtural colonial buildings. The people are very nice but beware of pick pocket! Romantic city it is. The still water and houses make my mind at ease. Difficult to part ways, holiday here feels end so fast. You should come and visit this place! Next time I should visit again with my partner. For now, au revoir, Colmar! Good bye, Colmar! See you again soon (I hope!) 🤗 #createwithtrip #france #beautifulcity #romanticcity #urbanexplorer #discovereurope #exploreeurope

Colmar, the small French city where Miyakazi Hayao got inspiration for one of his greatest work Hawl's moving castle from! I personally love Studio Ghibli's animation, especially Hawl's moving castle, also I love French region Alzas for its history and food so this was the perfect destination for me. If you are a big fan of Hawl too, check out Colmar! You will picture Hawl and Sophie walking in the air together at the start of the movie, it's that similar and absolutely stunning! #givethanks #movietravel #givethanks

In fact, before the Chinese restaurant was broadcast, Colmar was very famous in France and won the title of the most beautiful town in France. And because this is the prototype of Hayao Miyazaki's cartoon "Hal's Moving Castle", it attracts tourists from all over the world. The town can take a small train tour, mainly to see the "small canal", "church", "under the Bodhi tree library" and the characteristic "ribs house". The town is not big, but it takes a day to go shopping. The town of Colmar is now dominated by tourism, which is full of shops and restaurants. In Colmar in December, the weather is very cold, but the town full of Christmas atmosphere is very lively. Many merchants will have special promotions, and everyone will decorate their own window like a game. At night, come for a glass of mulled wine and watch the Christmas market under the lights. I really feel happy!

Nestled in the northeastern corner of France, Colmar stands as a living testament to the enchanting fusion of French and German cultures that defines the Alsace region. This medieval gem, often called "Little Venice" due to its picturesque canals, captivates visitors with its remarkably preserved old town that seems plucked straight from the pages of a Brothers Grimm story. The town's architectural heritage is simply breathtaking. Half-timbered houses, dating back to the 14th-16th centuries, line the cobblestone streets in a rainbow of pastel colors – pink, yellow, blue, and green facades create an almost theatrical backdrop for daily life. The intricate wooden details and flowering window boxes add to the storybook atmosphere, particularly in the Tanners' District and along the famous Rue des Marchands. Colmar's culinary scene perfectly embodies the Alsatian spirit of generous hospitality. Local winstubs (traditional wine taverns) serve regional specialties like choucroute garnie, baeckeoffe, and tarte flambée, accompanied by crisp Rieslings and aromatic Gewürztraminers from the nearby Alsace Wine Route. The town's location in one of France's driest regions has helped preserve its historic architecture and creates ideal conditions for wine production. The Unterlinden Museum, housed in a 13th-century Dominican convent, showcases the town's cultural significance with its crown jewel – the Isenheim Altarpiece, a masterpiece of religious art. Meanwhile, the covered market hall offers a feast for the senses with local produce, cheeses, and charcuterie that reflect the region's gastronomic heritage. Colmar truly shines during two distinct seasons. In spring and summer, the town bursts with colorful blooms, and outdoor cafés spill onto squares and along canals. During December, it transforms into one of Europe's most magical Christmas destinations, with five different markets creating a wonderland of lights, aromas, and festive traditions. However, visitors should note that Colmar's popularity can lead to significant crowds, particularly during peak seasons. The town's size means key attractions can become quite congested, and finding parking can be challenging. Additionally, while its small-town charm is part of its appeal, those seeking nightlife or extensive shopping options might find the offerings limited. Despite these minor drawbacks, Colmar remains an extraordinary destination that offers a unique glimpse into Alsatian culture. Its manageable size makes it perfect for a weekend getaway, though you'll likely find yourself wanting to stay longer to fully absorb its atmospheric beauty and rich cultural heritage. Whether you're a history enthusiast, food lover, or simply seeking a fairy-tale escape, Colmar delivers an unforgettable experience that embodies the best of both French and German traditions. For travelers exploring eastern France, Colmar should be considered an essential stop – a place where history, culture, and cuisine combine to create something truly magical. It's not just a town; it's a living museum that continues to charm visitors with its timeless appeal and authentic Alsatian character.#europetrip

It is so magical to be the little Venice - Colmar! The old town is so beautiful with all the Christmas decorations and Christmas market. It is nice to walk along the river under such wonderful weather, and we enjoyed a lovely lunch in the indoor fresh market. We stayed 1 day and went to Strasbourg next.It would be perfect if we could have 1-2 more days to explore the other old towns in Alasce.

🎄I was drawn to Colmar by the show "Chinese Restaurant," and I never expected it to be the inspiration for Miyazaki's classic animation "Howl's Moving Castle." When the Christmas season arrives, I feel like I've stepped into a dream world where fairy tales and reality intertwine. 🎅Christmas Market Adventure🎅: Strolling through the streets of Colmar, every corner is filled with a strong festive atmosphere. It is known as one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Europe. Holding a cup of hot mulled wine, I wander through the bustling crowd, admiring all kinds of handicrafts and exquisite Christmas ornaments, feeling the warmth and joy of the holiday season. 🚣‍♀️Water Fairy Tale in Little Venice🚣‍♀️: I step onto the waterways of Little Venice and leisurely sail on a small boat. The colorful houses on both sides of the river, illuminated by Christmas lights, look like they have jumped out of a fairy tale book, breathtakingly beautiful. The ticket price is only 5 euros, but remember to prepare cash! 🍽️Food Tour of "Chinese Restaurant" Filming Location🍽️: Bistrot des Lavandieres, this uniquely designed building was once the filming location for "Chinese Restaurant." Walking into the restaurant, I feel like I've traveled to the lively show scene, with some precious show photos hanging on the walls. Although it has now been converted into a Western restaurant, the unique atmosphere is still unforgettable. 🏰Exploring the Inspiration for "Howl's Moving Castle"🏰: Pfister House, this building is not only a landmark attraction in Colmar but also the inspiration for the mysterious castle in "Howl's Moving Castle."

It was a winter trip to Colmar, France with family. Winter in Colmar is magical, and we loved every moment of exploring its cobblestone streets and picturesque canals adorned with twinkling lights. This Alsatian town transforms into a fairytale setting during the colder months, making it perfect for photography enthusiasts 📸 We started our journey in Colmar’s Old Town, where the medieval architecture glows warmly against the crisp winter air. Early morning light adds a golden touch to the half-timbered houses, so we recommend visiting just after sunrise for the soft light. Little Venice (La Petite Venise) is a must see. Its canals, bridges, and pastel-colored facades offer endless photo opportunities. The reflection of the buildings in the water is especially enchanting when captured at dawn or dusk. 📍Little Venice, Quai de la Poissonnerie, 68000 Colmar We visited Colmar in December to experience its famed Christmas markets🎄 , and they did not disappoint! The markets are spread across six locations, each with its charm. Place des Dominicains stood out for its stunning church backdrop, and Place Jeanne d’Arc offered traditional Alsatian decorations. Late afternoon or early evening is the best time to capture the markets when the lights create a cozy, festive ambiance. 📍Place des Dominicains, 68000 Colmar 📍Place Jeanne d’Arc, 68000 Colmar We also spent a delightful morning ⛅️ at the Unterlinden Museum, housed in a former convent, which offers a mix of historical and modern art.

| Colmar. 📖Colmar is a charming and romantic town that is very popular with the public. It is located in the east of the Alsace region in northeastern France, just a few kilometers from the German border. 🌈Colmar's unique Alsatian architecture, ancient canals, special bridges, and famous half-timbered houses are all very attractive. I love the multi-faceted roofs made of wood, each with a different shape. The houses in the town are colorful, and each has wooden windows and balconies decorated with geraniums. Every household has bright flowers and trees on their windowsills. ⌚️Due to time constraints, I didn't have time to explore in depth. After a quick visit, I drove for ten minutes to Eguisheim, the most beautiful town in France. It is located about 6 to 7 kilometers southwest of Colmar and is a famous vineyard area in the Alsace region, known as the "cradle of Alsatian wine." 🪵Eguisheim was built in the Middle Ages, and the buildings in the town still retain a strong medieval flavor, telling mysterious ancient stories. Since 2003, Eguisheim has been rated as "the most beautiful town in France." In 2013, Eguisheim was rated as "the most popular town in France." The two towns can be visited together, each with its own characteristics, and it can save time.

Colmar is located in the Alsace region in eastern France. The townscape was as if it had jumped out of a picture book, and it was truly beautiful. The sunset was also amazing🌆. Because it is in the Alsace region, it is close to the German border🇩🇪, and it feels like France and Germany are fused together. I visited during Christmas, so I enjoyed the Christmas market🎄 and Christmas shopping🎄. It really felt like I was in a Christmas picture book. I was so happy. Strasbourg is famous for Christmas, but Colmar is also a must-see🇫🇷🎄✨ #Colmar #France #ChristmasMarket

#europetrip Different from the scenery of big cities in Europe, the small town of Colmar in France is more like a mini fairy tale world. This is the place where Sophie and Hal meet in Hayao Miyazaki's Moving Castle, and the hometown of Baltoldi, the author of the Statue of Liberty. The architectural soul of the whole town is a wooden house built in the 17th and 18th centuries. Cut the wood neatly and build it into a wooden frame. The connection of the wooden strips does not need a nail. After setting up the shelf, the mixture of soil and grass stem is filled into the wall. Finally, the wall is coated with bright colours such as pink, grass green, sky blue, jujube red, etc., which has both the beauty of German lines and the unique romantic colours of France. The brightly coloured wooden tendon house is like a palette next to the clear river. Because it is very watery, the southeast corner is called "Xiaowei" Nice. In Little Venice, people living here seem to have a natural preference for flowers. Every small bridge, every dock, and every family near the river bank are decorated with flowers. Locals use a flatboat similar to a Venetian gondola as a means of transportation, which is located next to the canal.

It was a quick stop between Strasbourg and Basel, that's why I call it Colmar express (visit), but it was a real life fairytale experience. I was amazed by every second house, by the green decoration everywhere, the charming atmosphere and the great views. The city is very easy to navigate. There are signs with the statue of Liberty 🗽 wich show you the main tourist attractions (just follow the marks). No need to mention the good food and the coffee opportunities around the centre 😊 #100waysoftravel #colmar #france #europetrip
