Winter Wonderland
Experience the winter wonderlands of Europe like never before, beginning in Mainz, where Christmas markets and medieval streets open the festive season in style. Rothenburg ob der Tauber follows with an abundance of 16th-century charm, while in Munich, foaming steins of beer beckon at the city’s famous beer halls. Your journey continues in Salzburg with an exclusive market tasting, where locals serve mugs of Glühwein and freshly baked Lebkuchen, fragrant with ginger and spice. In Innsbruck, a horse-drawn carriage ride through the Alpine scenery and a visit to the world of Swarovski Crystal reveal another side of Austria, before stunning views over Lake Lucerne from the peak of Mt. Pilatus bring the journey to its close.
