The most pretty place in Strasbourg is at its southwest corner called "Petite France". It looks like Colmar style but the half-timber houses are less colorful. Apart from "Petite France" and Cathedral square, other areas are more ordinary but abundant of small shops, large malls and good restaurants.
Colmar is such a lovely town that I am very surprised that I didn't hear about it earlier. It is small, but very explorable. After walking around the twin several times we still found new enjoyable things: narrow alleys, little canal with cute decorations, shops with beautiful tea set, wine, candy and handcrafts, art galleries, and even just different lightings on the ancient colorful buildings already satisfied me.
