IN
2008 WE TAKE YOU TO
SALZBURG AND VIENNA!
A
beloved Austrian tradition that takes place at the time of Advent, the
four weeks preceding Christmas, is the “Christkindlmarkt”
or Christmas
Market, going back several hundred years The smells, the sounds and
the tastes of Christmas, with snow flakes sugaring the whole picture
- the children loved it and the grown-ups did too. And so, many years
later in our "E" world, the Christmas Markets still flourish
in Austria, giving the artists & merchants alike the chance to give
back to us our childhood dreams of an old fashioned Christmas.
On this tour participants will be visiting Christmas Markets in Baroque
Salzburg and in Imperial city of Vienna. They will listen to Choirs
singing Christmas music, visit markets where artists from all over Austria
display their handiworks;
and be instructed by a master baker in the art of baking Austrian Christmas
cookies especially the "Vanille Kipferl" at the former Imperial
bakery in Schönbrunn Palace. Sightseeing tours and great dinners
round out this experience. They truly are getting involved in the very
spirit of Christmas.
