WHEN TO GO TO COLMAR ?
While this city can be enjoyed throughout the year, our hoteliers recommend arriving in the late autumn. This season is generally associated with fewer tourists and lower hotel rates. Temperatures are quite agreeable and the autumn foliage is a sight to behold; particularly when venturing outside of the city. However, Colmar is also an extremely popular destination during the holiday season due to the numerous open-air street festivities. Please keep in mind that travel and accommodation rates will be slightly higher throughout December and January.
