Exploring Little Venice, Fishmonger Quarter, and Historic Canals
Colmar's Petite Venise (Little Venice) neighborhood features colorful half-timbered houses lining the Lauch River. Visitors can enjoy boat rides along the tranquil canals, stroll through the historic Tanneries District with its towering timber roofs used historically for drying pelts, or explore the Fishmonger District (Quartier de la Poissonnerie) where fresh catches were once sold along the canal docks.
Nearby stands the intricate facade of the Pfister House built in 1537 and the historic covered market (Marché Couvert) offering fresh regional produce, cheeses, and Alsatian wines under one roof. Your chauffeur drops you off near the pedestrian entrance to Little Venice, saving time and energy.

World-Class Art and Culture at the Unterlinden Museum
Colmar is home to the renowned Unterlinden Museum, housed in a former thirteenth-century Dominican convent with a striking modern wing designed by Herzog & de Meuron. The museum contains the world-famous Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald, alongside masterpieces by Martin Schongauer and modern art collections. Another cultural highlight is the Bartholdi Museum, dedicated to Auguste Bartholdi, creator of the Statue of Liberty, who was born in Colmar.
