There is nothing quite like a white European winter. The mulled wine is bubbling, the

sweet scent of gingerbread fills the air, and the landscape is

covered by a blanket of glisten-ing white snow. Fulfil a lifelong dream and experience fairytale villages, the festive Christmas

markets of Munich and Vienna, the cobbled laneways of Prague

and Salzburg, and the majes-tic beauty of the famed Black

Forest. The Christmas markets, also known as Christkindlmarkt, are a tradition dating back to the late middle ages and are held in the four weeks of Advent. If the idea of enjoying a white winter

has ever crossed your mind, now is the time to experience it!

Experience the magic of a white European winter on this 17 day journey through Austria, France, Germany, and the beautiful Czech Republic.

Indulge in mulled wine and gingerbread at the iconic Christmas markets of Salzburg and Vienna, explore the cobbled streets of Old Town Prague, and visit the famed Cathédrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg on a day tour across the border to France. Fans of The Sound of Music will delight in exploring the historic city of Salzburg, in particular the Mirabell Gardens where Maria and the Von Trapp children sang ‘Do-Re-Mi’. Enjoy guided tours of Vienna, Prague, Český Krumlov, Salzburg and Strasbourg, and visit the picturesque towns of Schiltach, Holašovice and Mariánské Lázně. There will also be ample time to enjoy the changing landscape as you travel through snow-covered countryside, stop to admire cascading waterfalls, and travel into the incredible Black Forest.

With return international flights, 14 nights in quality accommodation, and professional English-speaking guides, this tour is an absolute must do!
