The man who designed the Statue of Liberty was born in Colmar, and his sculptures stand in eight spots along this walking route. This self-guided audio tour, played through the Tourific app on your own phone, leads you to all of them, plus a Jewish treasure found behind a wall five centuries after it was buried, and the smallest house in town, once used as a medieval anti-smuggling post.
You'll trace Colmar's restless past as it changed hands between France and Germany seven times, stand where Audie Murphy earned the Medal of Honor at nineteen, and pause beside the canal Disney's animators may or may not have borrowed for Belle's village.
With offline maps, no fixed start time, and the freedom to stop for kougelhopf, this Colmar audio tour fits your pace, not a guide's. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided walking tours, and the tour comes with a full refund guarantee. Press play when you're ready.
