Visitor’s Rules for the Colmar Christmas Markets

Experience the magic of Christmas in Colmar!

Five ways to show respect for the locals, the town and the environment.

1 - I show respect for the locals

I keep noise to a minimum, especially in the evening. I keep entrances clear and respect private spaces, including when taking photos and videos.

2 - I look after the town and the environment

I respect the town’s heritage and decorations, and do not climb on anything. I sort my rubbish, reuse items and avoid waste. I choose to travel on foot, by train, on public transport or by car-sharing, and respect access routes and parking regulations.

3 - I make it easier for others to get about

I keep passageways and emergency exits clear, and let wheelchairs and pushchairs through. I take photos from the side and follow the instructions. Too crowded? I’ll come back later.

4 - I support local craftsmanship

I take an interest in the products and exhibitors. I prioritise crafts, local specialities and useful, sustainable purchases.

5 - I remain courteous and considerate

With visitors, exhibitors, shopkeepers and staff, I remain patient, courteous and considerate towards everyone. In shops, I do not touch the products on display.
The magic of Christmas is meant to be shared. Thank you for looking after Colmar and everyone
