What to expect
Download your e-ticket and audio guide via QR code before arrival. Head to the museum at 1 Place Unterlinden with your ticket ready. You'll move through permanent and rotating exhibitions at your own pace—expect dense galleries spanning medieval devotional pieces to modern abstracts. The Isenheim Altarpiece commands a dedicated space; allow time to absorb its visceral detail. Once finished indoors, activate the city audio track and wander between marked stops: narrow lanes give way to canal views, Renaissance facades, and unexpected monuments. Most visitors loop back through the old town's cafés.
