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 snowflakes 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
togive back to us our childhood dreams of an old fashioned Christmas.

On this tour participants will bevisiting Christmas Markets in Baroque Salzburg, medieval Steyr
and the Imperial city of Vienna.They will listen to Choirs singing Christmas music,
visit the famous Christmas Post Office in Steyr 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.
Sightseeing tours and great dinners round out this experience.

They truly are getting involved in the very spirit of Christmas.
