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

  • Checklists for Strasbourg, Colmar and Eguisheim

  • What to eat, say and spend: from vin chaud to bredele
