Where We're Staying
Hotel Sacher Salzburg
During the holiday season, Hotel Sacher Salzburg exudes timeless elegance, blending its rich history with festive charm. Overlooking the grand Salzach River, the hotel glows with Holiday cheer and beautifully adorned Christmas trees. Inside, the warm scent of Sacher Torte and mulled wine fills the air as guests relax in the lavishly decorated lounges. Just steps away, Salzburg’s enchanting Christmas markets and classical concerts create a magical atmosphere, making Sacher the perfect retreat for a festive and unforgettable winter escape.
Rosewood Munich
Nestled in the heart of Old Town, Rosewood Munich transforms into a winter wonderland during the holiday season. The hotel’s historic charm is enhanced by twinkling lights, festive garlands, and the scent of spiced Glühwein drifting in from the nearby Christkindlmarkt. Guests can warm up by the crackling fireplace, indulge in seasonal Bavarian delicacies, and enjoy the elegant yet cozy ambiance that makes this luxurious retreat a perfect haven amid the city's holiday magic. Plus it’s a stone's throw away from all of the Christmas Markets and fabulous restaurants and shopping promenades.
What We’re Doing in Munich & Salzburg
While you want the stress of planning left to us, we know you’ll want some free time to explore freely as well! Our itineraries are carefully crafted to give you a balance of the two each day. For example, one day you’ll have a guided tour of Salzburg, but then that evening you’ll be on your own to do dinner wherever you choose or participate in an add-on activity. But don’t worry, even with the free time you’re given, our team is here to equip you with plenty of suggestions and additional opportunities to sign up for, so you’re never short of things to do! Whether you're discovering historic landmarks, castles, and mountainous lakes, indulging in local delicacies, or simply enjoying the warm holiday spirit, this journey promises an unforgettable winter wonder.
Meet Your Host
Caitlin's journey in Germany began nearly a decade ago when she moved there to pursue a photography program. Captivated by the country's rich traditions, exceptional quality of life, and the warmth of its holiday celebrations, she quickly made Germany her home.

Now based in Munich, Caitlin continues to find inspiration in the city's historic charm and vibrant culture. Her proximity to destinations like Salzburg allows her to craft experiences that capture the magic of the festive season and beyond.
Caitlin's passion for authentic cultural experiences and her deep-rooted knowledge of Germany make her the perfect guide for those looking to explore the country's hidden gems and cherished traditions.
