WHAT’S ON IN EUROPE IN WINTER? WHAT’S ON IN CANADA IN WINTER?

Go to the Christmas MarketsThe Christmas markets of Europe are famous all over the world. Don’t miss the very special atmosphere between caramelised almonds, crafts and culinary delights, not to mention Christmas decorations and baubles from the four corners of the world. Here you can purchase all kinds of Christmas merchandise and gifts, especially traditional things such as crib figurines, toys, wood-carvings, marionettes, candles and lambskin shoes. Many are difficult to resist - as are the baked apples and warm drinks that are very welcome on crisp winter days.

Eat Lebkuchen (flour, honey, butter and spices) and drink GlühweinIf you are anywhere close to a Christmas Market, it is inevitable that you will enjoy these traditional Christmas goodies.

Regional and National Festivals and Customs If in Salzburg go to a Perchtenlauf: these Celtic, pagan traditions in which young men dress as demons were blended into the Christian teachings and are still part of local customs. There are many national and regional festivals and customs – take time to find out what’s on in your locale and plan accordingly.

Enjoy the parties and fireworks at ‘Silvester’, the New Year’s EveEverybody celebrates New Year’s Eve. Some cities plan special concerts, balls and other festive activities.

Enjoy the SnowDress for the cold and you won’t feel a thing – especially after a glass or two of Glühwein!.

Canadian winters are famous for breathtaking beauty, fun and adventure. With wide open spaces and endless mountains, there are always plenty of fun activities for everyone to enjoy. Winter in Canada is a season to warm up by the fire sipping hot cocoa and roasting marshmallows after a day of fresh mountain air. A time where you can experience the power of a team of husky dogs as you mush your way through the snow-covered forest. A time to challenge yourself to an adventurous ice walk as a knowledgeable guide leads the way.

See a game of Ice HockeyExperience the excitement of an action-packed Canadian ice hockey match.

View The Northern LightsThe dark polar skies of Canada’s Northwest Territories are renowned as one of the best places to witness the magic of the aurora, or northern lights, and you will be among a privileged few to experience this natural wonder. Sitting directly under the aurora oval, Yellowknife is a spectacular destination to see the Northern Lights (Aurora borealis). If you’d prefer not to go too far north, Fort McMurray in Alberta also offer Northern Light viewing options.

Horse-drawn Sleigh Ride or Dog Sledding - Your choice.Head outside for a fairytale horse-drawn sleigh ride. Bundled in blankets, breathe in the fresh scent of cedar forests and watch snow float from laden trees as you dash through the serene landscapes. Perhaps set out on an exhilarating dog sled ride through the forests of Banff.

Enjoy the Canadian Christmas MarketsIf in Vancouver, you must not miss the Vancouver/German Christmas Market. Flyover Canada: discover Canada on a breathtaking aerial journey taking in the most-stunning vistas – all in a virtual environment complete with wind and sound!

ADVENT IN THE CITY5 Days - 4 Nights | Vienna City Package

CHRISTMAS AT SCHÖNBRUNN3 Days - 2 Nights | Vienna City Package

SCHÖNBRUNN PALACESchönbrunn, the former summer residence of the Imperial family, is considered one of the most beautiful baroque palaces in Europe! The Habsburgs resided here the better part of the year in numerous rooms for their large Imperial family. Emperor Franz Joseph, who later married the enchanting Sisi and reigned from 1848 to 1916, was born here in 1830. The monarch spent his last years entirely in the palace, which became the property of the new Republic of Austria two years after his death. Today, the palace is part of UNESCO’s cultural heritage due to its historic importance, its unique grounds and furnishings.

Vienna is a city of music, home to the Vienna Boys’ Choir but it is also synonymous with gourmet fare, cakes, coffee and the Lippizzaner stallions at the world-famous Spanish Riding School.

Salzburg

SALZBURGUntil 1816 Salzburg was a city-state, independent of the Habsburgs and ruled by powerful prince-archbishops. It is situated on the northern border of Austria, 113km southeast of Munich, in a picturesque setting surrounded by mountains. Mozart was born here and the city’s fascination with its most-famous son is best demonstrated during the Salzburg Festival which presents world-class performances of opera, drama and concerts over a period of six weeks each summer. Mozart’s impression has been left all over the town - his image is on every postcard and chocolate box and both his birthplace and family house are now museums offering detailed insight into his life and work.

The Christmas carol “Silent Night, Holy Night!” was heard for the first time on Christmas Eve in 1818 in the St. Nikolaus Parish Church. Following the damaging floods of the 1890’s, St. Nikolaus’ church was demolished and the Silent Night Memorial Chapel was built on the site and consecrated on August 15, 1937.

Every year on December 24th at 5:00 p.m., a memorial service in honour of the creators of the Silent Night carol takes place in front of the Silent Night Memorial Chapel.

Thousands of people from around the world attend the ceremony and finish by singing “Silent Night” in their own language. A tour-guide will escort you by bus through the foothills of the alps, along the Salzach River valley to Oberndorf where you can participate in this touching Christmas celebration.

Christmas Markets near Schladming.

A full-day excursion takes you along the Salzach River valley past many of Austria’s ski resorts. Near Schladming, location of the 1982 Ski World Championships, you will ascend up to the ‘Steirische Ramsau’ 1000m above sea level at the base of one of the alpine glacier massives - the Dachstein!

In the village there will be time for a stroll in the frosty fresh air and lunch (at your own expense) in one of the local inns. Your guide will inform you of the possibilities. You will hear the jingling bells on the reigns as the sleighs line up across the field and your winter sleigh-ride begins!

A stop for refreshments is made along the way (at your own expense) where the horses rest and you have the possibility to try some Austrian specialities. Hopefully, it will be a day that you will remember long afterwards! Excursion destination may be altered due to snow conditions.

ADVENT, CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR CONCERTS

BERLINFor most of the latter part of the 20th century, Berlin has stood as a symbol of the division between East and West, split by the infamous fortified wall erected to separate the socialist sector from the democratic district. When the Berlin Wall was pulled down in 1990 the city discovered that it suddenly had two of everything, most notably two very distinct societies separated both socially and economically. The past decade has seen Berlin embracing unification and rebuilding itself as a modern European capital.

GERMAN CHRISTMAS MARKETSThe magical world of traditional historic German Christmas Markets is casting more visitors under its spell every year! These Markets, held in cities, towns and villages throughout the country, are becoming increasingly more popular, due, no doubt, to the enchanting Festive Season atmosphere they evoke.

The Christmas Fairs and Markets of Germany are unique! If you're tired of commercialism taking over this holiday period and would like to get right away for a real traditional and romantic Christmas Market, you may wish to consider heading to Germany where gifts are not mass-produced but craft work of real quality!

Here you can purchase all kinds of Christmas merchandise and gifts, especially traditional things such as crib figurines, toys, wood-carvings, marionettes, candles and lambskin shoes. Many are difficult to resist - as will be the glass of delicious mulled wine you are offered and the baked apples that are very welcome on crisp winter days.

The ambience is further enhanced by the aromas of hot chestnuts, grilled sausages and other tasty snacks! Youngsters especially, will be attracted to the gingerbread biscuits known as lebkuchen, marzipan figures and other sweets.
