Itinerary subject to change while touring for the best interest of the group

Day 1: Depart USA
Overnight flight to Europe.

Day 2: Arrive Innsbruck
Transfer to your hotel in
Innsbruck, capital of Austrian Tyrol.  Innsbruck is a gem in the middle of the Alps with wonderful scenery, extensive history and numerous shops to explore.

Day 3: Innsbruck Walking Tour, Neuschwanstein, Oberammergau
A walking tour today will include the Triumphal Arch commemorating the wedding of the Duke of Tuscany, Saint Anna’s Column and Swarovski Kristallwelten, a wonderland of crystal works of art by artists past and present. This afternoon we stop at the Rococo-style chapel in the Meadow and Ludwig II’s most luxurious former residence, the Neuschwanstein Castle. We continue to the charming town of Oberammergau, site of our Passion Play tomorrow.

Day 4: Passion Play
Today is dedicated to the Oberammergau, site of the famous Passion Play and magnificently painted houses with free time in the morning and an afternoon program. This play, hundreds of years old has lasted throughout time. We enjoy the world-famous Passion Play, spending the evening nearby in one of the lovely hotels.

Day 5: Augsburg, Romantic Road, Rothenburg, Wurzsburg
This morning, we travel north to the ancient city of Augsburg. It was here in 1518 at St. Anne's Church that Luther met the papal legate, Cardinal Cajetan, who demanded that Luther submit to the pope. Augsburg was also the site of another Imperial Diet (1530).
Early this afternoon we stop along the panoramic "Romantic Road" and visit the best preserved medieval town in all of Europe, Rothenburg. We include the quaint Rathaus (town hall) with its tower, the Kriminal-museum, housing all manner of Medieval instruments of torture and especially for the ladies, one of the most fascinating Christmas stores you will ever see - Kathe's (pronounced Katie's).  After free time, our trek north through the fertile countryside brings us to Wurzburg, for dinner and overnight.

Day 6: Heidelberg, Worms, Frankfurt
This morning we travel on to one of the most charming cities in all of the world - Heidelberg, ancient capital of the Palatinate and home of Germany's oldest university. But most importantly, it was a stronghold of German Reformed Protestants beginning in 1560. One of the great confessional statements of the Reformation, the Heidelberg Catechism was produced here in 1563. Heidelberg Castle, a most impressive historic landmark of Germany, stands majestically overlooking the Neckar River. The structure, now largely in ruins, preserves numerous examples of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque German architecture. Our next stop is in Worms. It was here, during the Imperial Diet in 1521, that Martin Luther challenged the entire Roman Catholic establishment by his refusal to recant the great doctrines of Protestantism. It was also here that William Tyndale completed the printing of his English version of the New Testament in 1525 which he had begun in Cologne. After seeing St. Peter's Church and the symbolic Luther memorial near the town square, we transfer to our
lodging and dinner in nearby Frankfurt.

Day 7: Departure
We transfer to the airport for our flight home.
