Plan the Alsace Christmas markets without the overwhelm
My free guide to Strasbourg, Colmar, Eguisheim and the little village markets most visitors miss, with dates, routes and where to stay
Alsace at Christmas looks like a storybook. Planning it can feel like a puzzle.
Which markets are open when? Train or car? Where should you sleep without paying triple?
I’ve been, I’ve planned it, and I’ve put everything into one guide you can keep on your phone at the market.

Inside the guide:
The Christmas Route map: every market, train line, bus and the best driving route, from the airport to the smallest village
2026 market dates at a glance: including the weekend-only villages you could easily miss
Where to base yourself: town or countryside, with or without a car
My favourite hotels: from budget to a treat, in Strasbourg, Colmar and Eguisheim
The lesser-known markets: Obernai, Kaysersberg, Riquewihr, Turckheim and more
