is colmar and luxembourg worth the splurge?
So, here’s the deal: I’ve got about a week to play with, starting from Zurich and heading toward eastern Holland. I’m eyeing Colmar in France and Luxembourg—planning to spend a couple of days in each spot. But here’s where I’m stuck: I’ve heard the train rides are long (and let’s be honest, my back isn’t what it used to be after sitting for hours), and both places are pricey.
Last time I tried to save a few bucks by staying outside a city, I ended up in a tiny hotel room next to a rooster that thought 4am was a reasonable wake-up call. So, I’m a little wary about picking a place outside Luxembourg City. Has anyone found a decent, quiet spot nearby that won’t break the bank? And what about Colmar—any affordable gems for food or places to stay? I love a charming town, but is it really worth the extra cash and travel time, or am I better off picking somewhere less touristy?
If you’ve done this route, I’d love to hear your honest take. Did you find it magical, or did the crowds and prices leave you grumbling? Any alternative towns you’d recommend instead? I’m all ears—especially if you’ve got a story about a travel mishap or a hidden gem!
