Colmar is a thriving, typically Alsatian city. Its city center resembles an open-air museum. Classed as one of France's most beautiful towns, Colmar naturally attracts thousands of tourists all year round, who appreciate its architectural unity. Its colorful half-timbered houses, some of which seem to be writhing under the weight of a long and tormented history, its Renaissance-style buildings and its Musée Unterlinden, famous for preserving the famous Issenheim Altarpiece, make it an attractive commune often considered the heart of Alsace. Alsace's wine capital also offers Christmas markets.
