Christmas Express to the Home of “Silent Night”

Discover the magical birthplace of the world’s most beloved Christmas carol on this unforgettable day trip from Vienna.

Your journey takes you through snowy landscapes to Oberndorf, where “Silent Night” was first performed in 1818.

Visit the famous Silent Night Chapel and then cross the river into Germany to explore the charming Bavarian town of Laufen, with its festive atmosphere, and traditional flair.

You then continue to the idyllic Mozart village of St. Gilgen on Lake Wolfgang, with its Christmas market, lovely square and stunning lakeside views.

Another highlight of the day is St. Wolfgang, a picturesque pilgrimage village nestled on the lake. Wander through its historic streets, admire the magnificent church, and soak up the enchanting Christmas spirit that makes this place truly special. Enjoy the traditional Christmas punch, try the local stollen, roasted almonds or chestnuts.

In the evening, you return to Vienna with a heart full of Christmas magic and the timeless melody of “Silent Night” still resonating within you.

This is more than a tour. It’s a true Christmas pilgrimage you will never forget.
