Bed and breakfast in Colmar

The 3 emblematic places to discover in Colmar

It's impossible to stay in Colmar without exploring its must-sees! The town is packed with heritage, cultural and natural treasures that captivate the curious and history buffs alike. Here are three places not to be missed during your B&B stay.

1. Little Venice

The emblematic symbol of Colmar, La Petite Venise embodies the town's rich history. Its picturesque facades, architectural details and unique atmosphere make it a must-visit. Take the time to admire every nook and cranny, listen to the stories of the locals or simply stroll along the canals: a total immersion in the soul of Colmar.

2. The Musée Unterlinden

This emblematic Colmar site offers a completely different facet of the destination. Between art, history and exceptional panoramas, it invites you to contemplate and relax. It's the ideal place for a family visit, a cultural break or a moment of reflection in front of remarkable works of art.

3. The Covered Market

Finally, round off your exploration with the Marché Couvert, a real local nugget. Whether you're a lover of gastronomy, fresh produce or traditions, this place brings together everything that makes Colmar so special. Enjoy the friendly atmosphere and local know-how in a setting that exudes authenticity. These three must-sees perfectly capture the spirit of Colmar: a harmonious blend of heritage, nature and the gentle way of life, to be discovered without moderation from your guest room.

The ideal season to rent bed and breakfast in Colmar

In Colmar, each season transforms the atmosphere of the town and influences the type of holiday you'll experience. By choosing a bed and breakfast rental, you can easily adapt your accommodation to your desires, your budget and the price per night, whether you're travelling for 2 people, with your family or with friends. In spring, the town centre and green spaces come back to life, the markets fill up and the terraces are set up along the water's edge, an ideal time for travellers who like to visit on foot and enjoy a beautiful view of the facades. In summer, Colmar comes alive with festivals, exhibitions and open-air walks, and the advantage of renting a bed and breakfast is that you can keep a calm cocoon after a busy day, while remaining close to the centre and all the good places to go. In autumn, the atmosphere becomes more serene, the narrow streets are less crowded and the museums and gourmet restaurants are more enjoyable, often with cheaper rentals and very positive reviews for comfort. In winter, the city becomes more intimate and warm, with its illuminations and markets, and a night in a well-heated bed and breakfast becomes a real pleasure, especially for those who hesitate with a flat and are looking for a more authentic welcome. Whatever the season, Colmar is the place to find the right rental, with the right type of accommodation and a different experience every season.

The 3 must-try activities during your holiday in Colmar

A B&B holiday in Colmar isn't just about a night in comfortable accommodation, although the right rental price and traveller reviews do count. To make the most of your holiday, whether you're coming as a couple, with family or friends, also plan experiences that showcase the town, its centre, its waterside landscapes and its good addresses. Here are three activities to include in your programme, whatever type of accommodation you're comparing, between flats and B&Bs.

It's also a great idea if you're looking for an activity that's accessible to several pers, without altering your rental budget or the pace of your stay.

To experience Colmar like the locals, head to the covered market and put together a gourmet hamper to enjoy on site or in your rental. Between local produce, colourful stalls and exchanges with producers, the experience appeals to all travellers, whether they've chosen a flat or bed and breakfast.
