Description
Discover the magic of the holiday season on a private tour from Lucerne. Visit the Christmas markets of Basel and Colmar, savor local treats, and enjoy a flexible itinerary.
Begin your journey with a visit to Basel, located on the Rhine. Stroll between the wooden chalets on Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz, where you'll find handmade decorations, Swiss crafts, and warm mulled wine. Take in the view over the Rhine from the terrace behind Basel Minster. Don’t miss the traditional Basel “Läckerli” biscuits.
Then, cross into France to Colmar, the heart of Alsace. With its colorful half-timbered houses, canals, and cobbled lanes, the old town looks like a Christmas card. Colmar hosts several Christmas markets spread across its squares, each with its own character. Taste Alsatian specialties such as bredele biscuits, pretzels, tarte flambée, and hot spiced wine. As darkness falls, the old town lights up. This is the most beautiful moment to see Little Venice and the historic streets.
After an evening in Colmar, relax on the drive back to your hotel in Lucerne.
