Nestled amongst vineyards in France's Alsace region near the German border, Colmar is impossibly picturesque. Its well-preserved old town features winding cobblestone streets lined with colourful half-timbered houses adorned with flowers. Explore the charming "Little Venice" district where canals wind past vibrant buildings, visit the Unterlinden Museum (home to the Isenheim Altarpiece), and savor Alsatian cuisine and wine. Colmar offers a concentrated dose of fairytale European charm, feeling distinct from both typical French and German destinations.
