Your private Mercedes and your own English-speaking driver collect you at your hotel in Lucerne in the morning. You cross the Swiss border into Alsace and by late morning you are standing in Strasbourg — no train changes, no timetables, no carrying shopping bags across platforms. Strasbourg is the official Capital of Christmas, and it has held the title honestly: the Christkindelsmärik dates from 1570 and is the oldest Christmas market in France. More than 300 wooden chalets fill eleven squares of the Grande Île, under the Great Christmas Tree of Place Kléber and the illuminated Gothic cathedral. You explore it at your own pace, with time for mulled wine, bredele biscuits, Alsatian crafts and a proper lunch. In the afternoon your driver takes you 70 km south to Colmar — six separate markets, coloured timber-framed houses, and the lamplit canals of Petite Venise, the quarter that inspired the village in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. In the evening we drive you back to Lucerne.

    What you'll see and do

    1. Strasbourg

      Your driver drops you right at the edge of the old town, so you step straight into the Christmas market. Strasbourg is the official Capital of Christmas: the Christkindelsmärik has been running since 1570 and is the oldest in France, with more than 300 wooden chalets spread across eleven squares. You walk the Grande Île at your own pace — the Great Christmas Tree on Place Kléber, the illuminated Gothic cathedral and its astronomical clock, the canals and half-timbered houses of La Petite France — with time for mulled wine, bredele biscuits, Alsatian crafts and lunch. Your driver waits nearby and meets you at the agreed time and place.

    2. Colmar

      Seventy kilometres south, Colmar is the most photographed Christmas town in Europe and the highlight of the day. Six separate markets fill the old town: Place des Dominicains under the church windows, the market of the Koïfhus, the children's market at Petite Venise and the covered market hall. You walk streets of coloured timber-framed houses — Maison Pfister, the Ancienne Douane — and the lit-up canals of Petite Venise, the quarter that inspired the village in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. You stay until the lights are at their best, then your driver takes you back

    From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucerne.

    How much does From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,474 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucerne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lucerne is not rushed.

    Is From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucerne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lucerne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lucerne and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lucerne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lucerne?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lucerne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jungfraujoch Top of Europe Day Trip from Lucerne, Lucerne Walking & Boat Tour: The Best Swiss Experience, Lucerne's Hidden Secrets by Electric Cargo Bike (small groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lucerne?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lucerne?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg?

    +

    Included: Private transportation. Not included: Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is From Lucerne Magical Christmas Markets of Colmar and Strasbourg offered in?
