There is nowhere quite like Vienna during Advent. The Christmas markets are full of life, the atmosphere in the streets is festive in a way that doesn't exist in most other capital cities and the concerts & operetta season is in full swing. Many of Vienna’s squares transform into magical Christmas markets with the aroma of hot punch and Christmas biscuits creating a wonderful atmosphere. Get your Christmas off to an early start and join us for six nights in this wonderful city.
We fly direct from Manchester or Heathrow and stay six nights at the 4* Hotel am Konzerthaus which has an ideal location just off the 'Ringstrasse'.
We await the publication of the opera, operetta and concert schedule (normally available mid April) but we include
- Stalls seats at the Vienna State Opera
- Stalls seats for a traditional Viennese operetta at the Volksoper
- A concert in the magnificent Goldensaal of the Musikverein (home of the New Year's Day concert)
- A concert in the beautiful art-nouveau Konzerthaus
- two morning walking tours in the historic heart of the city (with Kaffee und Kuchen in Vienna's most elegant cafe)
- a morning visit to Klimt & Schiele at the Belvedere Palace
- a morning at the Schönbrunn Palace with apple strudel included!
- Dinners in some of the great dining rooms of the city, dinner at the Konzerthaus and a post-performance supper after the Volksoper
