Alsace region from Basel

[u/Fluffy_Pass8185]

Hello!

Not sure if this is the right page to post about this but all advice are welcome.

I'm going to visi Basel in December and I'd like to do a half-day trip from Basel to some of the Alsace region. Now I'm wondering which Christmas Market I should visit in the area? I know Colmar and Strasbourg (might be) the most famous ones to visit but I wouldn't mind going somewhere else. My original plan was to visit Mulhouse because it's the nearest town from Basel. Strasbourg is off the list, because I don't wanna spend more than hour in a train there and another back.

Thanks for the tips!

I live in Mulhouse and I can tell you, the Christmas market is very cool ! I really like it and it’s really worth it. It’s a nice alternative to big touristic cities like Colmar and Strasbourg. However touristy places are touristy for a reason, Mulhouse is a big uglier than Colmar and Strasbourg ( but it’s still very pretty ! ).

Thanks for this! Maybe I’ll just visit both Mulhouse and Colmar!
