Oberammergau Passion Play & the Austrian Tyrol
On this incredible fully escorted coach holiday, you’ll see the world famous German Passion Play in Oberammergau, as well as visiting some of Austria and Germany’s amazing cities and sights. A holiday to Austria wouldn't be complete without a stop-off in Salzburg to relax in the city's lovely squares, explore the quaint narrow shopping lanes, and perhaps sample a strudel and coffee in one of the many pavement cafés. In contrast, you’ll spend time in stunning Kitzbühel, an area of outstanding natural beauty. And we don’t do things by halves, because on this tour you’ll also enjoy time in Cologne with its imposing cathedral, the Rhine Valley which is home to beautiful scenery, and, delightful Rothenburg ob der Tauber, located on the Romantic Road. But let’s not forget the highlight of this holiday… the Oberammergau Passion Play. You’re guaranteed to experience an afternoon and evening filled with emotion as you witness this once every ten year event – the perfect way to end this unique and exciting holiday!
