Where to stay in Colmar
Colmar is one of the larger towns in the Alsace wine region, but the sights and charming streets are located close together in the old town. The old part of Colmar consists of the historic city center and the charming Little Venice, where you find most of the tourist attractions. The Old Town is therefore the perfect place to stay when visiting Colmar. There isn’t much interesting outside the Old Town, but hotel options are usually much cheaper there. Staying near the train station can also be practical for those who visit the city by train. The train station is actually one of the hidden gems of Colmar because of its special architecture.
The best neighborhoods of Colmar:
- Vieux Colmar (translated: Old Colmar) with most of the half-timbered houses, museums and places of interest.

- Saint-Leon north of the old town, where it’s less touristy and accommodation is much cheaper.
- At the train station west of the old town, where hotels are also more affordable but within walking distance of Vieux Colmar.
