[2025 Colmar Attraction] Travel Guide for Quai de la Poissonnerie (Updated Jul)

#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

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. The courtyard is photogenic with its serene atmosphere, especially in soft morning light. We also strolled to the Pfister House, a 16th-century gem that combines medieval and Renaissance styles. Its intricate details are best captured in the late morning when the light highlights the facade. 📍Unterlinden Museum, 1 Rue des Unterlinden, 68000 Colmar 📍Pfister House, 11 Rue des Marchands, 68000 Colmar Just a short drive from Colmar, Eguisheim is a charming village surrounded by vineyards. We explored its circular streets and colorful houses that felt straight out of a storybook. The golden hour before sunset is the ideal time to photograph the town. It bathes the village in a warm glow that brings out the colors. Don’t miss the central square with its fountain and St. Peter and St. Paul Church. 📍Eguisheim Village Center, 68420 Eguisheim Colmar in winter left us spellbound, and we can’t recommend it enough for a dreamy getaway. #europetrip #vacation #getaway
