Stepping into the world created by Hayao Miyazaki, it's not just a few streets, but a whole town of fairy tales

🏰 After watching 'Howl's Moving Castle' for the Nth time, I finally arrived in Colmar. This place even more realistically restores the fairy tale town than I imagined 🏠 Colmar is part of the Alsace region, with its typical half-timbered house structure. The neatly arranged houses undulate in height and vary in color, giving the entire city a playful and cute impression 🩵 The bustling pedestrian streets and the tranquil museums are overwhelming. Let me, Xiao Ou, share with you one by one the super cost-effective places and tips in Colmar 1️⃣ Bibliothèque des Dominicains An old monastery converted into a library and museum of ancient books, the second-floor library retains the exposed beams of the monastery roof. The monastery's inner courtyard on the first floor has preserved its century-old appearance, and I highly recommend that friends go there 2️⃣ Sightseeing Train 🚞 Runs every half hour, lasting 40 minutes. For 7.5 euros, you can connect all the scenic spots of the entire town in one go, and the headphones on the train will automatically introduce each spot when you arrive, remember to switch to channel 5 for Chinese! 3️⃣ Toy Museum 🤖 Dedicated to collecting toys from various eras, the diverse and vivid collection attracts toy enthusiasts. Highly recommended for families with children, there is also a voice-controlled train inside, which is very cute 4️⃣ Little Venice 🏞️ As the name suggests, it's very much like Venice! The row of colorful houses on both sides of the canal is very photogenic 5️⃣ Traditional Indoor Market 🥦 Includes a comprehensive market with more than twenty vendors offering vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and restaurants. To understand a city, go to its market 6️⃣ Chocolate Museum 🍫 Have you seen sculptures, cars, and clothes made of chocolate? The entire chocolate production process is also here. The ticket even includes two delicious chocolates! 🍽️ Delicious Recommendations ◽️Chez Hansi A traditional Alsatian restaurant, I recommend their choucroute royale, which is served with great ceremony. The German sauerkraut paired with smoked sausages and more, tastes amazing ◽️ Restaurant Pfeffel The restaurant is a beautiful standalone half-timbered house in the city center. Whether you have a drink here or a big knuckle, it's very Alsatian Ps. It is recommended to book the restaurant in advance
