All Malaysians know Colmar, we have a twin setup in Bukit Tinggi in Pahang. I have never been there, admittedly but I have seen pictures. The real Colmar is also not like Riquewihr (which I suspect is more what our Malaysian version is based on)\u00a0 – it is very much larger and having its own small airport as well. . This was our last stop in the “Alsace wine region road trip<\/a>“. I found Colmar to be extremely pretty just like the other quaint towns we dropped in on but it has also the gritty feel of a lived-in city, which made it unique.<\/p>\n

Sights in Colmar<\/h3>\n

We stayed about a kilometer away from the main area – with free parking and it was a pleasant walk to see the sights. The main sights in the city center was all within walking distance.<\/p>\n

Place de l\u2019Ancienne Douane<\/h3>\n

You can barely miss this majestic building with its glazed roof. This is the Koifhus at the Place de l’Ancienne Douanne , which was the old time customs building where tax was collected from import-export goods. Its no wonder they needed to make it attractive – otherwise no one would come!<\/p>\n
