Colmar Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

Half-timbered houses, flower-lined canals and a town that looks illustrated rather than built — Colmar is almost too pretty to be a game board. Almost.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Colmar on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Begin among the trees of Place Rapp and its general's statue

• Drift through La Petite Venise, Colmar's canal-side postcard

• Decode the Place de l'Ancienne Douane and its old customs house

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

Alsace's jewel box, unlocked clue by clue.
