Christmas Markets Tour from Salzburg

Description

Treat yourself to the most festive Christmas tour Salzburg has to offer and spend an afternoon visiting three of the most traditional and atmospheric Christmas markets around the Salzkammergut, the picturesque country side around Salzburg.

Take a stroll through the sparkling Christmas markets around the Salzburgerland Lake District and visit the three villages of St. Wolfgang, St. Gilgen and Strobel that are located around the beautiful and tranquil waters of Lake Wolfgang.

Your first stop will be idyllic Strobel, a village renowned for its Christmas nativity scene where you will get into the Christmas spirit with hundreds of candles, lanterns and Christmas trees.

Then enjoy a romantic boat ride to the rustic Christmas market of St. Wolfgang. You will pass by a giant floating lantern and the floodlit Ochsenkreuz altar and experience stunning views of the Falkensteinwand mountain. Whilst you are cruising you will hear the sound of festive fanfares echoing out across the entire lake.

The tour ends with a visit to the village of St. Gilgen, famous for its 'Sound of Music' wedding church and connections to the Mozart family. Here you have the opportunity to purchase traditional seasonal gifts such as gingerbread, hand-made toys and Christmas tree ornaments at the end of a memorable tour.
