The Musée Unterlinden is a great museum housed in a former monastery. You can see a little of everything Alsace has to offer here, including archaelogical objects, sculptures and paintings from the middle ages, and Renaissance art, as well as Alsatian popular and folk art. The museum is found at 1 rue Unterlinden, and costs € 7. Highly recommended.

The Colmar Tourist Office is located at 4 rue Unterlinden and is open Monday through Saturday 9-12 and 14-18. They can find you lodging and suggest tours outside the city. You can get maps and information on guided tours.

Every Tuesday, from May 10 to September 13 (except July 5 and 12) there is a folklore evening in the Place de l'Ancienne Douane at 8:30pm.

Starting in November, Colmar puts on a Chrismas market with traditions, gifts and culinary specialities.
