When to go to Colmar?
Timbered houses in ripe colours crowd the lanes, and along the Petite Venise canal flower boxes fill every rail and footbridge. The Maison Pfister carries its Renaissance loggia on the corner, while the Unterlinden museum keeps the Issenheim altarpiece inside a former convent. The Alsace wine road starts at the edge of town, vineyards and tasting cellars included.
