First Stop: The Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar Nestled in the heart of the Alsace region in northeastern France, Colmar transforms into a fairytale during the holiday season. With its colorful half-timbered houses, medieval charm, and romantic canals, this town—often called "Little Venice"—hosts one of the most enchanting Christmas markets in Europe. Throughout the festive season, Colmar's cobbled streets glow with twinkling lights, wooden chalets, and the warm scents of mulled wine and gingerbread. The city features six themed markets, each with its own charm, spread across the picturesque Old Town. Visitors can browse artisanal crafts, sample Alsatian treats, enjoy ice skating, or take in the glowing decorations. Don’t miss the Unterlinden Museum, a wine tasting along the Alsace Wine Route, or a hearty meal in a cozy winstub.
