Day 2 - Tuesday, Aug 31 – Oberammergau & the Passion Play
Visit the Oberammergau Museum to learn the inspiring history of this town and delight in the village’s colorfully painted homes, centuries old and wonderfully preserved.

Following lunch, you’ll be escorted to your reserved center orchestra seats in the historic Passion Play Theater as 2,000 actors take to the open-air stage, framed by a natural backdrop of spectacular Alpine scenery.

Day 3 - Wednesday, Sep 1 – From King Ludwig II’s Fairytale Castle to Munich
This morning’s journey brings you into a picture-perfect landscape of forested slopes and looming granite peaks. Your destination is Neuschwanstein, the turreted fantasy built by King Ludwig II. Strains of music from the best-loved compositions of Richard Wagner may ring in your ear as you marvel at the Castle’s numerous interior paintings, many inspired by his most famous operas. Continue to Munich, where inviting rooms await at the 4-star, city-center Hotel Torbrau. Meals B

Day 4 - Thursday, Sep 2 – Out and about in Old Munich
Munich is one of Europe’s friendliest and loveliest cities! Experience these charms for yourself as you explore through Old Town with your guide. Your walking tour takes you through the oft-photographed Marienplatz, a beautiful town square laid out in 1638. Admire the lavish architectural flourishes of Town Wall and stand beneath the towering dome-capped spires of the historic Cathedral Church of Our Lady – an imposing symbol in the Munich skyline. Your afternoon is at leisure to explore at your own pace. Meals B

Day 5 - Friday, Sep 3 – Discover Salzburg & Linderhof
An unforgettable full day excursion begins with a scenic drive into Austria for sightseeing in Salzburg, the enchanting City of Mozart. You might find yourself humming some familiar melodies in the colorful Mirabelle Garden, easily recognized from scenes in The Sound of Music. In Old Town, you’ll admire the imposing 15th century Cathedral, stroll along Getreidegasse, the city’s celebrated pedestrian shopping street, and see the home of Wolfgang Mozart. Then journey into a peaceful Bavarian valley to gaze in awe upon Linderhof. Originally, this was to be a private hunting lodge for King Ludwig II. But the King soon had grander plans, envisioning a new Versailles, and by its completion in 1878, this royal residence had become a French-inspired confection of Baroque and Rococo opulence. Back in Munich, your evening is free to step out and enjoy as you wish. Meals B

Day 6 - Saturday, Sep 4 – Farewell to Germany
After breakfast, a group transfer brings you to the Munich Airport for your homeward flight. Meals B
