Go Shopping but never on a SundayIn Austria, Germany and Switzerland shops are generally closed on Sundays. Exceptions are Airports, Rail stations and resort villages. For Christmas, Germany and Switzerland have designated Sunday shopping days: 4 and 18 December 2016. On regular shopping days, this time of the year can be quite an experience, with shops on Zurich’s Bahnhoffstrasse offering glasses of champagne to passing traffic hoping to entice them to shop.

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.

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. If 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!

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!.

Silent Night

- Holy Night Adult Child

Price from 65 32

Duration: approx. 4 hours

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 1890s, 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 24th December at 5 pm, 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 which concludes with the singing of the “Silent Night” carol 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!
