#magicalxmastrip I recently spent a magical Christmas in Riquewihr, a picturesque Alsatian village in northeastern France. This tiny village was transformed into a winter wonderland, with twinkling lights, festive decorations, and a charming Christmas market. As I strolled through the village's cobblestone streets, I felt like I had stepped into a fairytale. The half-timbered houses, adorned with festive wreaths and garlands, added to the village's enchanting atmosphere. I enjoyed sampling local delicacies, such as mulled wine and bredele, and browsing the unique handmade crafts and souvenirs. What made Riquewihr's Christmas market truly special was its intimate and authentic atmosphere. Unlike larger Christmas markets, Riquewihr's market felt cozy and welcoming, with locals and visitors alike gathering to celebrate the holiday season.

Tower Museum of Thieves Tower Museum of Thieves is the most impressive and educational. The horrors of torture are still part of this building. But there are also several rooms with interesting historical movies and the descent through the brewers house is a nice second part of the experiënce. Amazing how 500 years old wooden houses still stand. These pictures are of the Tower Museum.
