"In few places but Alsace can oenophiles drive 100 miles and meet more than 1,000 wine producers, all with a backdrop of medieval châteaus and postcard-perfect villages. The Alsace Wine Route consists of five regions: Pays de Wissembourg, Vignoble de Strasbourg, Coeur d’Alsace, La Route des Vins Sud-Alsace, and Terre et Vins au Pays de Colmar. If you only have a day or so to explore, base yourself some 45 minutes south of Strasbourg in Colmar, a medieval town with cobblestone streets and a Gothic church from the 13th century. Here, you can visit Domaine Robert Karcher et Fils and Domaine Viticole de la Ville de Colmar for free tastings of the region’s dry riesling, full-bodied gewürztraminer, and range of pinot noirs. West of Colmar, there are three other notable vineyard stops: Domaine Weinbach in Kaysersberg, Domaine Josmeyer in Wintzenheim, and Domaine Emile Beyer in Eguisheim (one of France’s most beautiful villages, renowned for its Issenheim wine and museum dedicated entirely to Muenster cheese)."

Originally a 13-th century Dominican convent and later a public baths building, the Unterlinden Museum has a tremendous collection of international and local artifacts and relics that date back to prehistoric times. The museum was established in 1849 and opened to the general public in 1853. Sculptures, artworks and the amazing Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald (sculpted and painted in 1512-1516). So many more medieval and historic items to see. Expect your tour to take at least two hours and if it's cold, keep your coat on. Much of the museum is not air conditioned or heated but there are WCs throughout.

Beautiful and huge building. We visited it for 2,5 hours but it felt we could have stayed for two more. You can go out for lunch and come back to keep enjoying every piece. Audio guides available in different languages.

Small, but very interesting collection. Medieval artwork is very interesting. Amazing detailed explanations for children (they are very educational for adults as well, I was enjoying reading well. Would be 5 stars if not for the chaotic visiting route. Museum has two sections, it was not very clear how they are connected, we almost missed half of the exhibition.

Love the museum! The museum is huge, divided into three parts of building. Inside there are collections of arts and objects from 1200s to modern arts. Loved the architecture of the museum too. Make sure to plan more time to visit here if you want to see all the collections since the museum is SUPER big.

Must-see. It has a good art collection, displaying art from the region Nonetheless, there are two highlights: the gothic cluster, with a beautiful garden and views to the chapel, and the Western Art masterpiece of the Isenheim Altarpiece. Composed of several large paintings, now displayed separately, they are a blend of late medieval North Europe painting with manerism and Bosch-style fantasy.
