6. Colmar, France
Colmar, also known as “Little Venice”, is a well-preserved 13th-century village with waterways that wind through its medieval streets. Here, in this Christmas destination, the magic of the winter holidays can be experienced in its finest form.
Illuminations linking the village’s multiple Christmas markets will guide you through the labyrinth of lovely, narrow streets lined with old half-timbered houses.
The markets nestled in the town squares are like mini villages, and each has its own distinct architectural features. There you’ll find lots of enthusiastic and passionate craftsmen selling their unique and high-quality products, so don’t forget to buy something as a memory.
This lovely Christmas destination also features traditional toy exhibitions, wine tastings, guided tours, and several concerts and other performances.
