Arriving and getting around Colmar with bags

Colmar station sits on the main rail corridor through Alsace, with direct TGV INOUI and TER services to Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Basel SBB and Metzeral, and OUIGO trains joining from 13 December 2026. Once you step outside, the free Cœur de Ville shuttle runs from the station to the city centre every 15 minutes, Monday to Saturday between 9 am and 7 pm. Trace bus line A also links the Gare stop to the Théâtre interchange near the centre in about six or seven minutes. On Trace buses, bulky luggage travels free as long as space allows and it doesn't endanger or annoy other passengers, but you must keep the aisle clear of suitcases and other items.

Luggage storage and bag rules at attractions

The Musée Bartholdi asks anyone with large luggage to leave it at the cloakroom by the museum reception, so don't expect to wheel a suitcase through the galleries. The Musée d'Histoire Naturelle et d'Ethnographie de Colmar provides free locked lockers and requires the deposit of bags or objects exceeding 40cm in any dimension.

At the Musée Unterlinden, only bags no larger than 40cm x 30cm x 20cm go inside, and the free unattended locker area can't take large bags or suitcases. Lockers there are limited in number, so travel light if you're heading that way.

Exploring Colmar without your bags

Colmar's historic centre is pedestrianized, which makes strolling easier once you've dropped anything heavy. The tourism office points visitors to the "Petite Venise" district along the Lauch and the Collégiale Saint-Martin, both in that car-free core. The town describes itself as nestled among vineyards between the Vosges and Rhine, with Strasbourg and Mulhouse close by.
