- Place Rapp and Monument General Rapp - Welcome to the heart of Colmar, where Place Rapp is named in honor of General Jean Rapp, a notable figure of the French Revolution celebrated for his bravery in the revolutionary wars. At the center of the square stands his statue, crafted by the renowned artist Auguste Bartholdi, who is also credited with creating the Statue of Liberty in New York.
- Musee Unterlinden - You are now between the two buildings that make up Colmar’s most renowned museum: Unterlinden. This Fine Arts Museum is among the most visited in France. It is housed in two buildings, with the one on your left being a former 13th-century convent.
- Theatre Municipal de Colmar - Behind you is the Municipal Theatre, constructed between 1847 and 1849 by architect Louis-Michel Boltz. Due to its popularity and the city’s growing population, it was expanded in 1902 to accommodate more spectators.
- Chateau d’eau de Colmar - This historic water tower in Colmar is a prime example of 20th-century German architecture. Built in 1886 by Swiss engineer Henri Grüner and architect Jean-Baptiste-Victor Huen, it was designed to regulate the city’s drinking water distribution.
- Cercle Catholique Saint-Martin - Another iconic monument in this charming Alsatian town is the Circle Saint Martin. This 72-meter building along Joffre Avenue, showcasing a beautiful blend of Romanesque Revival and Gothic Revival styles, was constructed in the late 19th century to host cultural and sporting activities for men and children.
- Little Venice - Welcome to Little Venice, one of Colmar’s most picturesque areas! Here, along the canals, you can admire the typical Alsatian houses with their wooden sections painted in regional colors, reminiscent of those found in Venice.
- Grand Rue De Colmar - This shopping street, as picturesque as the rest of Colmar, is the city’s center. It leads directly to Place Jeanne d’Arc, once the site of the Cattle Point of Sale and public executions.
- Maison des Chevaliers de Saint-Jean - Modeled after Venetian palaces, the House of the Knights of St. John was designed in the 17th century by architect Albert Schmidt, who also created several other private houses in Colmar’s center.

- Quai de la Poissonnerie - This wharf, lined with fishermen’s houses along the Lauch, is one of the most beautiful spots to admire Alsace’s typical houses. In the 16th century, fishermen sold their catch here.
- Rue des Tanneurs - Rue des Tanneurs marks the entrance to the district of the same name. As the name implies, this was where tanners were permitted to work.
- Koifhus (Old Custom House) - You are now facing the city’s old customs house, known as the Koifhus. With its distinctive green and yellow roof, it is Colmar’s oldest public building, constructed in 1480. It served as a warehouse, a place for taxing goods, and a meeting venue for Alsatian deputies and magistrates.
- Fontaine Schwendi - This is one of the city’s most famous fountains! Located opposite the Old Customs, it features a statue of Lazarus of Schwendi, a 16th-century Alsatian figure who fought against the Turks in Hungary.
- Manneken Pis - Experience a touch of Brussels in the heart of Colmar! This replica of the famous Manneken Pis, installed on the Courthouse façade, dates back to 1922 and was a gift from Brussels to Colmar, commemorating the shared hardships faced during the German occupation.
- Maison Schongauer - At this intersection are two of the city’s iconic houses. At the corner of rue Mercière and rue des Marchands, you will find Maison Pfister, arguably the most famous house in Colmar.
- Maison Adolph - You are now in Cathedral Square. Before focusing on the impressive Saint Martin Collegiate Church, take a moment to observe the buildings opposite.
- St Martin’s Church - Despite the square’s name, this church is not Colmar Cathedral. It was briefly elevated to cathedral status during the Revolution, but only for about a decade.
- Eglise Protestante Saint-Matthieu - Construction of St Matthew’s Church, intended as the city’s Franciscan church, began in the late 13th century. After the Lutheran Reformation, it served the Protestant community for nearly two centuries before being reassigned to the Catholic Church in 1715 by order of the King of France.
- Eglise des Dominicains - A true Gothic masterpiece, the Dominican Church was built from the 13th century on the current Martyrs of the Resistance Square. Rodolphe of Habsburg, King of the Romans, laid the foundation stone.
- The Village of Hansi and his Museum - This is a tribute to the watercolor artist and illustrator Jean-Jacques Waltz, known as Hansi through his works.
- House of Heads - This uniquely architectured building is called the House of the Heads, named for the 106 heads adorning its impressive facade. Listed as a Historic Monument, it is one of Colmar’s most renowned houses.
