canada The vast frontier of Canada is a land of prairies, mountains, fields of glaciers, lakes and coastlines. Filled with wildlife like wolves, moose, bears, eagles and other animals, the Canadian landscape is one of great natural beauty and provides ample opportunity for outdoor sports like hiking, canoeing, skiing, and even dog sledding. While the image of Canada in most people’s minds is one of untouched wilderness, Canada’s cities are just as colourful. Whether you’d like to attend a rodeo in Calgary, marvel at the museums in Ottawa, browse the restaurants and art galleries of Toronto’s Distillery District, or have a picnic in Vancouver’s Stanley Park, the cosmopolitan cities spread across Canada offer a range of attractions that will please any traveller.

Christmas in salzburg4 Days / 3 nights

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.

salzburg Winter experienCes

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, we 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 is 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. Then you’ll 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.

prices includes:• Private 8-seater minibus or

4-seater Mercedes limousine E-class transfer

• Private driver-guide• Hotel pick-up and drop-off• Service charges, taxes & VAT

note: Warm clothing, gloves and warm shoes are essential for this tour.

Let us take you to the romantic village of Hintersee (25km from Salzburg). Here wild deer (approx. 100 – 150) come down to this point especially to be fed during the winter months (daily at 3 pm – if there is snow).

german cHristmas marketsThe magical world of traditional German Christmas Markets is casting more visitors under its spell every year! The historic Christmas 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.

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.

This old Imperial Free City, its walled fortifications towering over the Tauber Valley, is the epitome of urban and rural harmony. To take a walk through this small place with its timeless feel is to come face to face with vanished centuries. Its proud Town Hall, the soaring towers and stout walls, the churches and patrician houses offer insight into its medieval history and is considered a symbol of the German Middle Ages.
