The Colmar City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: which winstub deserves a booking, when to see Petite Venise without the crowds, how to handle five Christmas markets in one small town and which wine villages you can reach by bus. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look at and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Chez Hansi
23 Rue des Marchands
A winstub decorated with the drawings of Hansi, the illustrator of old Alsace. Order the choucroute with its several sausages or chicken cooked in Riesling with mushrooms, and start with the onion soup. From the food guide.
Église des Dominicains
Place des Dominicains
A tall, plain Gothic church built around one painting: Martin Schongauer’s Madonna of the Rose Bush from 1473, worth the small ticket on its own. In December it is a calm refuge from the market outside. From the things to do guide.
Famille Hugel
3 Rue de la 1ère Armée, Riquewihr
One of the oldest wine families in Alsace, right in the centre of Riquewihr, with a tasting room that opens every day. A flight of five or six wines is an easy introduction to the region. From the day trips guide.
Finish the game, open the guide
World City Trail’s Colmar scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour take you through the old town. The guides take over once you finish: a choucroute in a winstub, a glass of Riesling in a wine bar, the toy museum on a rainy morning or a bus out to the wine villages.
