Description
Begin your festive adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Zurich. Travel in comfort in a Mercedes vehicle and head to Basel, Switzerland. Stroll through one of Switzerland's most beautiful Christmas markets. Wander between the wooden chalets on Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz, admire the view over the Rhine from the terrace behind Basel Minster, and taste the traditional Basel 'Läckerli' biscuits. Next, cross the border into France and reach Colmar. The jewel of Alsace looks like a Christmas card, with colorful half-timbered houses, canals, and cobbled lanes. Colmar's several Christmas markets are spread across its historic squares, each with its own character. Walk through the picturesque Little Venice district and taste Alsatian specialties such as bredele biscuits, gingerbread, tarte flambée, and hot spiced wine. Continue across the Rhine into Germany and arrive in Baden-Baden. This elegant spa town lies on the edge of the Black Forest. Its Christmas market is set in front of the grand Kurhaus, among the trees of the spa gardens. It is known for its refined atmosphere, quality handicrafts, and German treats such as roasted almonds, bratwurst, and Glühwein. Stay as night falls and the lights make the market glow. Finally, relax on the drive back to Zurich and get dropped off at your hotel.Includes
