Christmas Markets Tour
Have you started planning your Christmas vacation? Why not join David on his Christmas Markets tour! Christmas Markets pop up all over Central Europe during the first weeks of December. These outdoor markets feature unique decorations, beautifully handcrafted arts, and endless opportunities to sample some great food and countless varieties of glüwein, punch, and spiced drinks, served piping hot in souvenir mugs.
But there is more to this tour than snow-sprinkled markets! You’ll enjoy visiting many destinations that, during the busy tourist season, are packed shoulder-to-shoulder with sweaty tourists. Traveling off-season means easy access to the castles and sights in Salzburg, Schwangau, Rothenburg, Munich, Nürnberg, and more. There has never been a better time to visit Europe’s winter wonderland destinations. Sign up here.
