Experience the Salzburg Christmas feeling
(this tour is only from Nov 19th to Dec. 26th!)

For fans of the world famous "Silent Night, Holy Night" Carol, this tour will guide you to discover the origins of the Christmas "magic" in the beautiful background of Salzburg. Your professional guide will bring you closer to the carol's birthplace “Oberndorf” as well as more stories of the composer Franz Xaver Gruber and the poet Josef Moor  of "Silent Night, Holy Night". Visiting the Chapel you are invited to sing the famous carol with your "Melody Guide" just at the original place where this song was sung in 1818 for the first time.

We'll further discover the Christmas Market in Oberndorf,visit the beautiful Pilgrimage Church "Maria Bühel" to light a candle for the World Peace and outside you will enjoy a panoramic view of the alpine mountain lanscape and more.
