Colmar offers a unique experience throughout the year. Summer, from June to August, boasts warm, sunny weather perfect for outdoor activities and exploring its charming streets. However, it's also the peak tourist season, so expect crowds. Alternatively, spring and autumn offer pleasant temperatures with fewer crowds. Winter, especially December, sees the magical Christmas markets, transforming the city into a festive wonderland. But, it is cold and you might find some businesses closed.
