About this tour

Join our special festive tour and immerse yourself in the magic of winter as we journey through the breath-taking Vienna Woods toward the snow-dusted peaks of the Austrian Alps. Watch the majestic mountains grow closer until we arrive in the enchanting city of Salzburg.

In Salzburg, walk in the footsteps of “The Sound of Music” on a captivating guided tour. See the famous Do-Re-Mi stairs at Mirabell Gardens, explore the charming Old Town, visit Mozart’s birthplace, admire the grand Salzburg Cathedral and historic St. Peter’s Abbey, and don’t miss tasting the original Mozartkugeln chocolates from Fürst.

After the tour, enjoy free time to wander Austria’s largest and most atmospheric Christmas market. It's perfect for shopping, sipping mulled wine, and soaking up the holiday spirit.

Then relax as we travel through the stunning Lake Region (Salzkammergut). We’ll make a short stop in picturesque St. Gilgen, birthplace of Mozart’s mother, before continuing to the fairy-tale village of St. Wolfgang on the shores of Lake Wolfgangsee.

Here, one of Austria’s most beautiful Christmas markets awaits: over 60 glowing wooden chalets filled with handmade crafts, twinkling lights, and the irresistible scent of roasted almonds, chestnuts, warm punch, and traditional stollen. Visit the famous Pilgrimage Church, stroll the illuminated streets, and capture memories that will last a lifetime.

Finally, sit back, relax, and enjoy a comfortable return transfer to Vienna, the perfect end to a truly magical Christmas Day.
