This 3-day itinerary is designed to not only take you to some of the BEST Christmas markets in Alsace but also to some of the cutest towns in France. You will visit big spots but also venture into the more authentic villages of the region - all while NOT needing a car!
This itinerary is perfect for those who want to travel car-free and includes:
✨accommodation recommendations
✨regional foods you MUST try
✨5 different towns to visit
✨places to eat
✨practical info about the Christmas Markets
✨bonus suggestions if you have extra time
The whole point of this itinerary is to deep dive into the region and to take you to some of the most iconic and authentic towns in Alsace!
This itinerary is based on my own 2-day Itinerary but has been expanded and improved to include more spots we didn’t have time to visit!
