For the uninitiated, the setting seems a bit unlikely—it’s what Americans might call a quick stop or convenience store that sells snacks & drinks. But it is the real deal for short-term luggage storage for travelers. The staff were friendly & helpful and they took good care of our suitcases. This location is on a street that hosts various food-cart vendors during daytime hours, all of which seem popular & well attended. Highly recommend for your luggage storage needs.

Things to do in Colmar

Colmar is the enchanting jewel of Alsace, where half-timbered houses, flower-lined canals, and centuries of Franco-German heritage create a fairy-tale atmosphere. From world-class art to legendary wines, here are some of the best things to do in Colmar:

1. Wander Through Petite Venise: A Fairy-Tale Waterway

It's impossible to speak about Colmar without mentioning its enchanting Little Venice. Petite Venise is the city's most romantic quarter, where pastel-colored half-timbered houses with flower-filled balconies line peaceful canals. This picturesque neighborhood was once home to fishermen, market gardeners, and wine merchants who used the waterways to transport their goods. Today, visitors can glide through the canals on flat-bottomed boats, admiring the reflections of centuries-old buildings in the still waters. The Quai de la Poissonnerie offers the most iconic views, particularly at sunset when the warm light transforms the scene into a living painting. The nearby Marché Couvert (covered market) and the charming Rue des Tanneurs add to the area's magic. Whether you're seeking romantic boat rides, stunning photography, or simply the essence of Alsatian charm, Petite Venise is an absolute must-see.

You can learn more about visiting Petite Venise on the Colmar tourism site.

2. Discover the Unterlinden Museum and the Isenheim Altarpiece

The Unterlinden Museum is one of France's most visited museums outside Paris, admired for both its extraordinary collections and its stunning architectural setting.

Housed in a 13th-century Dominican convent, the museum's undisputed masterpiece is the Isenheim Altarpiece, created by Matthias Grünewald around 1512-1516. This monumental polyptych, originally painted for a hospital caring for plague victims, features breathtakingly expressive scenes including a haunting Crucifixion and a radiant Resurrection. Art historians consider it one of the greatest achievements of Western painting.

Beyond the altarpiece, the museum offers exceptional collections of medieval Rhenish art, Alsatian decorative arts, and modern works by Picasso, Monet, and others in the contemporary wing designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The peaceful Gothic cloister provides a contemplative setting. The Unterlinden represents Colmar's role as a cultural crossroads between France and Germany.

3. Admire the Historic Old Town Architecture

Colmar's old town is a remarkably preserved open-air museum of Alsatian architecture, featuring some of the most beautiful half-timbered houses in Europe. The Maison des Têtes, built in 1609, astonishes visitors with its façade covered in 106 sculpted heads and grotesque masks. The elegant Maison Pfister, with its painted murals and wooden gallery, epitomizes Renaissance Alsatian style. The Collégiale Saint-Martin, a Gothic church built from distinctive yellow Vosges sandstone, dominates the old town with its copper-green roof. Wandering through streets like Rue des Marchands and Place de l'Ancienne Douane reveals one architectural treasure after another. The Koïfhus (old customs house) and the many winstubs (traditional wine taverns) complete the picture. Colmar's remarkable preservation—largely spared from wartime destruction—makes it feel like stepping back in time.

4. Experience Alsatian Wine and Gastronomy

Colmar sits at the heart of the Alsace Wine Route, one of France's oldest and most scenic wine trails, and serves as the perfect base for exploring the vine-covered hills and charming villages nearby. The town itself offers exceptional opportunities to taste Alsatian wines—Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Crémant d'Alsace—in historic cellars and welcoming winstubs. Local gastronomy reflects the region's Franco-German heritage: tarte flambée (flammekueche), choucroute garnie, baeckeoffe, and Munster cheese are essential tastings. The covered market and local shops offer foie gras, gingerbread, and other Alsatian specialties. From late November through December, Colmar's legendary Christmas markets transform the town into a winter wonderland, with six distinct markets offering crafts, mulled wine, and festive magic. Whether you're seeking wine tastings, culinary adventures, or Christmas enchantment, Colmar delivers an unforgettable Alsatian experience.
