Christmas Market Tour in Central Europe

7-day guided Christmas market tour from Berlin to Vienna

Authentic Europe's Christmas Market Tour in Central Europe is a 7-day guided small group tour, capped at 18 travelers, with an English-speaking tour escort throughout. Starting in Berlin, day 2 includes a guided walk and a visit to the city's Christmas Market before day 3 continues to the Nuremberg Christmas market on the way to Munich. Day 4 travels on to Salzburg for the Hellbrunner Christmas Market, and day 5 moves to Vienna, where day 6 explores the city's own Christmas market alongside a coffee and pastry tasting. Transport between the five cities is a mix of train and minibus, and the trip includes three nights in a 3-star hotel and three nights in a 4-star hotel, both with breakfast. A welcome dinner in Berlin and a mug of Glühwein, mulled wine, are also included. This suits travelers who want a guided, fully escorted introduction to Germany and Austria's Christmas markets rather than independent travel.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has held at €1,749 every time.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.

What to know before you look closer

Only one hotel is named, Hotel Lasserhof; the tour uses a mix of 3-star and 4-star hotels, 3 nights each, without specifying which city gets which category.

No current departure dates are listed in the evidence, though the tour is themed around Christmas markets, which typically run in the weeks before Christmas; confirm exact dates with Authentic Europe.
