European Christmas market Tour Trip Highlights

Trip Dates

I’ve timed this trip so that we’ll be back in plenty of time before the holiday season gets into full swing back at home.

On this trip you have the option to fly in two days early. I highly recommend this! It’s really nice to be able to rest up and get your groove back after our long international flight. Most of my travelers really enjoy the extra couple days so they can see and do even more!

You can fly out after Thanksgiving weekend on Monday, November 30 and you’ll arrive in Munich on December 1st. I’ve planned a very special Bavarian Dinner with German beer and wine for us on at one of Munich’s best restaurant’s Tuesday December 2nd.

The next day you can sleep in! Then you can enjoy a delicious breakfast at our hotel. Our hotel has the best breakfasts! They even have champagne and orange juice for mimosas! After breakfast you can explore some of the beautiful and fun Christmas markets. There are more than 16 Christmas markets just in Munich alone!

For the main trip you’ll fly out December 2nd and spend seven (7) fun-filled nights in Europe, flying home out of Prague and getting back to the U.S. December 10th.

I’ve worked hard to make this trip a SUPER GREAT value with so much included!
