Winter Wonderland

Across nine days in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, you travel through a wintry Europe at its most glittering. In Mainz, you wander medieval streets lit by Christmas market stalls, with roasted nuts in the air and festive lights glancing off old stone. Munich fills your glass with foaming beer in its famous halls. At Salzburg’s exclusive market tasting, you warm your hands around Glühwein as locals share freshly baked Lebkuchen fragrant with ginger and spice. Austria’s Alpine air waits in Innsbruck, where a horse-drawn carriage clops past snow-bright scenery. While, from the peak of Mt. Pilatus, Lake Lucerne stretches out in a deep, magnificent blue.
