Colmar's Christmas markets draw visitors from all over Europe, and Zurich is one of the closest big airports. A private car over the Basel border takes you to Petite Venise or a wine-route village in under two hours.
We drive to any address in Colmar; three hotels with something special:
| Hotel | Location | Why stay | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Le Maréchal | Petite Venise | 16th-century houses on the canal. | Romantic stays |
| Hôtel Les Têtes | Rue des Têtes | Inside the Maison des Têtes, with 105 faces on its façade. | History |
| Hôtel Le Colombier | Rue Turenne | Renaissance house in Petite Venise. | Walking the centre |
Switzerland is in Schengen but not in the EU customs union, so goods checks are possible at the Basel border. Keep your passport or ID card handy.
The driver takes the A1 and A3 to Basel, crosses into France and heads north on the A35 across the Rhine plain. In about 1 h 45 min you reach Petite Venise, the old town or your hotel on the wine route.
