A classic guided tour of Colmar invites you to discover the hidden cultural capital of Alsace. Idyllically situated at the foot of the Vosges Mountains and the Alsace Wine Route, the picturesque city of Colmar, with its architectural diversity, is considered a symbol of the Franco-German history that makes Alsace so special.
The colorful half-timbered houses in the Old Town evoke the city’s German past, while nearby you’ll see French balconies and facades reminiscent of those found in Paris or Lyon. It is this dazzling blend of German and French influences that gives Colmar its unique charm. Our guided tour of Colmar lets you immerse yourself in the city’s inimitable atmosphere.
Over the centuries, Colmar has produced a multitude of outstanding artists. One of the city’s most famous sons is undoubtedly the painter Martin Schongauer; we’ll pass by his house on this Colmar city tour, and his “Madonna in the Rose Garden” is on display in the Dominican Church. Not far from there, we come across the birthplace of another well-known resident of the city: at 30 Rue des Marchands, the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi was born in 1834; he made a name for himself throughout the world as the “Father of the Statue of Liberty.” On this Colmar city tour, we’ll tell you about Colmar’s interesting residents as well as its sights, both big and small. Our Colmar city tour takes you past the Unterlinden Museum, the famous “Maison de Têtes,” and through the winding medieval alleys of the Old Town. Of course, a tour of Colmar wouldn’t be complete without a look at St. Martin’s Cathedral and the elaborately painted Pfister House. We’ll continue past the Koifhaus to the tanners’ quarter, where the Schwendi Fountain—another work by Auguste Bartholdi—stands. With this fountain, the city of Colmar erected a monument to the military commander and vineyard owner Lazarus Schwendi, who is said to have brought the Tokay grape from Hungary to Alsace. We then head to the old market hall before our tour concludes in Little Venice, the picturesque former fishing district. Join us in discovering one of France’s most exciting and charming cities!
