Grüss Gott (hello in the local Bavarian dialect) and welcome to the start of your Bavaria & Beyond vacation! Upon arriving at the Munich International Airport, your Bavaria & Beyond guides will be waiting to greet you. Enjoy a complimentary beverage and mingle with your fellow travelers as our group assembles at the designated airport "Treffpunkt" or meeting point.

Our "express check-in" process will ensure that you quickly and comfortably settle-in to your new Bavarian "home-away-from-home". After a short break to relax and unpack, a Welcome Reception will be hosted at a nearby restaurant. Enjoy an all-inclusive meal with delicious local delicacies and of course, Bavarian Bier!

Salzburg, Austria - Wednesday, November 30, 2022
Discover the city Mozart called home on the Salzburg City Christmas Market Tour. Get acquainted with this cultural treasure as your guide leads you on a short walking tour of the Old Town district. Sights along the way include Mozart Square, The Sound of Music Fountain, Mozart's birth house, St. Paul's Cathedral, General J. Collins grave, and finally the Hohensalzburg Castle.
After learning the lay of the land, enjoy free time to visit the city's sights and shops at your leisure. A must-see is the city's elaborate Christmas Market, located at the base of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, just in front of the Salzburg Cathedral. The Market's 95+ vendors are sure to offer a little something for every taste!
Hallstatt, Austria - Thursday, December 1, 2022
Hallstatt is known by many as one of Europe’s most picturesque villages. The quaint little town sits along the shores of the Hallstättersee with mountain peaks of the Austrian Salzkammergut region towering overhead. Discover the charm of this famous town and take in the breathtaking natural beauty of the Austrian Alps!
Chiemsee Island Christmas Market - Friday, December 2nd, 2022
Arriving at the shores of Lake Chiemsee, we board our ferry for a beautiful cruise on the alpine lake as we make our way to the Fraueninsel island. The island, translating to “Lady’s Island'“ is one of the most spectacular Christmas Market settings around. Enjoy a scenic boat ride en-route to the island which is home to a Convent and the reason behind its name. At Christmas time, the island really springs to life when it’s illuminated with hundreds of elaborate Christmas decorations and lights. Sweet smelling aromas fill the air, as over 60 stalls sell traditional German cakes, mulled-wine, gifts and much more.

Or treat yourself to a relaxing morning before visiting your favorite local cafe followed by some shopping in the city center.
