Tour Overview
Experience the magic of the holiday season with our "Munich Xmas Markets" tour! Spend an unforgettable weekend in festive Munich, Germany, where the city comes alive with enchanting Christmas markets. Savor hot spiced wine, holiday treats, and the Bavarian atmosphere while exploring market stalls filled with nutcrackers and seasonal delicacies. Enjoy a guided walking tour of Munich's major landmarks, including the Frauenkirche and Marienplatz, and visit the historic Dachau concentration camp. Stay in centrally located accommodations with options ranging from 3-star hotels to hostels, and even a 4-star upgrade upon request. With plenty of free time to explore on your own, this tour offers the perfect blend of guided activities and independent adventure.
*Trip Style - This is an independent trip ideal for groups of friends, family, couples, or even for an independent-minded solo traveler. It is designed as a travel & destination package, not solely as a "group trip". You will be on group tours/activities with other travelers and in a room with other travelers if you book the "shared dorm hostel" package (if you book the "private" room package then you of course will be in your own private room). You will however, have independent time between the guided group tours/activities to explore on your own and do as you please, and will receive a detailed info packet by email with numerous recommendations for additional group activities or tours (beyond what is included), sights/museums and food/drink/nightlife info, etc. It's a great balance between guided & included tours/activities and free time so that you have plenty of time on your own to do what you want.
