Hotels near Colmar - Houssen Airport - CMR, Colmar

Little town but close to Colmar and other beautiful places. The little Venice is in Colmar, place to get lost inside the old town. Kayserberg and others towns sourrandied by vineyards and great pleceds to eat. We visited Baden Baden, door of the Black Forrest. Easy to biking, hiking, cayaking...

Mittelwihr is an excellent base for exploring the villages of Alsace. The only problem being is that there are just far too many stunningly beautiful places to see, and so many different things to do.

Charming, enchanting city. Very walkable. Perfect amenities everywhere...restaurants, pubs, shops, free electric public bus to train station. An absolute must...a step back in time...a fairytale spot.

Colmar is a charming place to visit, with fantastic dining options and wonderful stores, including clothing stores, shoe stores, art and antique shops as well as gourmet shops and grocery stores offering everything one could hope for. It is also convenient to other nearby destinations of interest, making it a good starting point as well as a nice place to come home to in the evening because of its multitude of bars, cafes and dining facilities. If you’re traveling with pets, please be aware the taxi cabs are not user friendly if you have dogs, large or small. We we forced to walked from the train station in rainstorms each way because we couldn’t get a taxi that would help us. And management at the Coton apartment leasing Group, while saying they would call us back when we asked for assistance, simply didn’t. They never called back.

Colmar is in a great location for people interested in the wineries of Alsace. We booked a private wine tour and visited several beautiful old villages and three wineries. I highly recommend this activity. We also highly recommend the Unterlinden Museum (the Issenheim Altarpiece is amazing) and the Bartholdi Museum. If you are able to prepare your own meals, the covered market in Colmar is a great place to shop for local foods and produce and it is located near Little Venice, so it's a scenic stroll. We took the bus to see the replica Statue of Liberty and I wouldn't recommend this activity unless you have a car. The statue is situated on an extremely busy roundabout so we were unable to get close to it - I'm really not sure how people on Instagram managed to get their amazing photos. Finally, if you are travelling during Lent, check to see when the Colmar Carnaval is being held. We personally did not enjoy the noise and the crowds, but we weren't expecting it since we didn't know about the Carnaval before travelling.

It's like a fairytale city which I always wanted to visit. It's so quiet and nice. For dinner the restaurants are open from 7 pm to 9:30 pm or latest 10 pm. Prices are a bit too high though. Around 25 euros only for the main dish for a person. There are not coffee specialty places. Wherever I bought a cappuccino it was not the best, quite average I would say if you are a coffee lover.
