Colmar

Considered to be the capital of Alsatian wine, Colmar is a picturesque city which dates back to the 9th century. At one time part of the German Empire, the city has a Teutonic flavour indicative of the Alsace-Lorraine region. The main draw for visitors is the beautifully preserved old town with its wooden beamed houses and canal district known as ‘Little Venice.’ Don’t miss a visit to the fascinating Unterlinden Museum which holds a diverse collection including artworks by Picasso and Renoir. Travel by rail to discover the best of Colmar.
