A Dresden city tour, the lace making centre of Plauen, the Erzgebirge region (home of Germany’s woodcarving and famous ‘Christmas pyramids’) and the ninth century UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Bamberg also feature in the program.
Departing Frankfurt on 05 and 09 December 2007, the ‘Christmas Delights’ package includes all accommodation, transportation, sightseeing as per itinerary and a farewell dinner.
The ‘Vienna Christmas Markets’ option offers the choice of a two or three night stay in the Austrian capital at a choice of three hotels and comes complete with daily continental breakfast.
