What better way is there to spend the time before Christmas than wandering through the streets and Christmas markets of historic Austrian towns?
Arrival and dinner at your hotel.
Spend the morning relaxing in your hotel or taking a stroll around your resort. In the early afternoon, enjoy a trip to the town of Wels, where the Wels Christmas market will get you into the Christmas spirit. Enjoy the magical market, which offers its visitors an excellent programme every year, and do some last minute Christmas shopping. In the late afternoon you take a special tour, a night guard will guide you with a lantern and halberd through the Christmas world of Wels. He will tell you exciting stories of past and present times.
After the odd mulled wine or punch, you then return to your Hotel for your evening meal.
Travel to Grunburg. There you will board the famous light railway to the Christmas town of Steyr. You will pass the world-famous pilgrimage church Christkindl and get a magnificent view of the countryside passing by. In Steyr your city guide will already await you for your old town tour. You then have time for lunch and a wander around the Christmas market and visit the different programmes that are on offer. Let yourself be lulled into the Christmas spirit with a mug of warming mulled wine or punch, or try some of the tasty delicacies, before returning to your hotel for the evening.
Depart for your trip home after breakfast.
