Welcome to Munich, your gateway to a magical quilting adventure! Season’s greetings await at the Movenpick Hotel, a haven of comfort to unwind after your journey. Tonight, you’ll join your fellow quilters and the ever-attentive Tour Manager for a delightful Welcome Dinner, a perfect opportunity to bond over shared passions and the anticipation of the journey ahead.
Ready to explore the Bavarian capital? Start your morning with a city tour of Munich, taking in the impressive Olympic Park and the whimsical Glockenspiel. As dusk falls, lose yourself in the enchanting Christmas markets, where you can browse for unique handcrafted goods, maybe even a new quilting pattern, or simply savor the delicious seasonal treats. The scent of gingerbread and mulled wine fills the air, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Bid adieu to Munich as you set off for Innsbruck, a gem nestled in the heart of Austria’s Alps. Along the way, seize the chance to explore more Christmas markets, perhaps indulging in some local delicacies for lunch. End your day on a high note with a lively Tyrolean Folk Show Dinner that showcases the rich local culture. The rhythm of Austrian folk music will echo in your heart as you return to the cozy Adlers Hotel.
Follow a local guide on a walking tour through the charming cobblestone streets of Innsbruck, where the famed Golden Roof awaits your admiration. Then, embark on a train ride to the serene village of Seefeld. Upon arrival, a horse-drawn carriage and a traditional gift of schnapps are yours to enjoy. Sing along to classic carols as you glide across the snow, before diving into a demonstration of how to make (and eat!) a traditional strudel. Don’t forget to save some time for a little shopping at the Swarovski Crystal Worlds Store – a quilter’s dream for one-of-a-kind embellishments.
Wake up to a hearty breakfast at the Adlers Hotel before setting off for Ammergau and witnessing along the way the fairy-tale beauty of Neuschwanstein Castle, the most-photographed castle in Germany and the muse behind the “Sleeping Beauty” castle. Pause at the Church of Wies, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a place of pilgrimage since the 18th century. Then, continue on to Oberammergau, a picture-perfect Bavarian village where a lunch of regional cuisine awaits. Spend the afternoon exploring the village at your own pace, discovering the local shops, or simply soaking in the serene ambiance.
Immerse yourself in the festive cheer of Innsbruck. Spend a leisurely day at the Christmas markets, hunting for treasures among the stalls. Sip warm glühwein, savor stollen, and enjoy the sounds of brass bands playing from the towers while chestnuts roast on open fires. As the day turns to night, the city lights up with twinkling decorations, enhancing the charm of the markets.
Travel through the charming Austrian countryside to the storybook Old Town of Salzburg. Explore the heart of this Baroque city, the birthplace of Mozart, and blend in with the locals, affectionately known as “Salzburgers.” Don’t forget to savor a traditional Mozart chocolate and browse the offerings at the six different Christmas markets – perhaps a unique ornament will catch your eye. The day concludes with a picturesque drive to Vienna, where the luxurious Intercontinental Hotel welcomes you.
Soak up the culture of Vienna, Austria’s musical capital, with an expert guide. Marvel at the grandeur of the Schönbrunn Palace, the summer retreat of the Habsburg dynasty, and visit St. Stephen’s Cathedral, an iconic landmark. As you meander through the Old Town of Vienna, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into a postcard. Dedicate some of your free time to the city’s vast Christmas markets, where you can seek out unique quilting materials or simply enjoy another cup of warm glühwein. The festive spirit in Vienna continues into the evening as we gather to celebrate this journey at our Customary Farewell Dinner.
The final day of your unforgettable journey has arrived. Take this opportunity to exchange addresses and fond farewells with your newfound quilting companions. As your tour concludes, you’ll carry home more than just memories. You’ll return enriched by the culture, history, and sights you’ve seen, all providing a wealth of inspiration for your future quilting projects. Reflect on your journey as you enjoy your last breakfast in the beautiful city of Vienna before setting off for home with a heart full of memories and a suitcase filled with souvenirs.
