Hello RS Friends,
We’re trying to decide where to stay during Dec 1st-4th as we visit the area to enjoy the Christmas markets. Can you recommend an adorable cute B and B in Strasbourg, Colmar or a smaller town nearby? ( Eguisham, Riquewhir ) I’d love to stay right in the center of the markets, but could also be happy in a smaller town and then visit the markets. I guess finding a memorable place to stay, old world, mabey half timbered, cozy cute would be wonderful. If you’ve stayed in the area i’d love to hear your experience and thank you so much in advance. Last month we did Munich, Regensburg, Nuremberg, Salzburg, Hallstatt and others and it was magnificent!! Sometimes we stayed on the doorstep of the market and other times we drove in for the night. We are driving so public transportation is not a need.
Thank you !

With a car I would base in a small town. I’ll leave specific recommendations to others. We stayed in Strasbourg because we relied on public transportation.

I don't have specific places to recommend, but will offer that parking in Colmar can be a time-consuming hassle. If you do decide on Colmar, make sure your hotel or apartment offers parking. It's much easier in Strasbourg. And while the smaller towns of Eguisheim, Ricquewihr etc are well worth visiting, I'm not sure there's enough to do to base a visit in one.
