Mulhouse is located at 30 kilometers from the airport in Basel, in the French region of Alsace. This charming French town, as well as Colmar, in the winter months attracts tourists with Christmas holiday magic. Downtown at the end of October turns into a giant construction site, with a lot of wooden houses, that will shine in full splendor, this year on 22 November. Enthusiasm followed by Christmas and New Year spirit is not absent even in Mulhouse.

We recommend you to find accommodation in the center of Mulhouse where you can easily reach the railway station or tram. Everything is ideally connected, but if you’re in the center of the majority you can reach almost everything on foot. We were staying at Residhotel so that center and the holiday mood was just around the corner 🙂 When you start with a stroll in this city you will not want to stop. Explore the side streets, but beware of your stuff, because the locals say that this is not exactly the safest city. Once in this city was a restaurant, a panorama that was turning. In literally from top of the building you was able to see whole town, so that you can enjoy your meal overlooking the city. Unfortunately, it is closed. In the museum of cars you will forget about time when you see all those old timers standing proud of their history. We may be boring, but the city center will infect you with Christmas holiday euphoria, as well as decorated surrounding streets, houses, shop windows … If you ask us, it is time to adorn the Christmas tree 🙂
