View the Altes Rathaus (The Old Town Hall),

Then, it´s on through the picturesque countryside and into the Bavarian Alps to the village of Oberammergau and the Hotel Maximilian, your stylish accommodations for the next two nights of your ultimate Oberammergau travel experience.

The passions of Oberammergau
The charming Bavarian village of Obermmergau is, of course, world-famous for the Passionsspiele Passion Play, but did you know that its residents have been passionate about producing intricate and beautiful woodcarvings since the Middle Ages? Today, there are approximately 120 active wood sculptors in the village.

The house facades decorated with the traditional art form art of Lüftlmalerei, or frescoes, depicting fairytales or religious scenes enhance the town´s charm.

Alpine Innsbruck and the Italian Alps
Leaving Germany behind, your Oberammergau travel experience continues through Austria´s awesome Alps to the town of Innsbruck, well known as the host city for the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympic Games. But, there´s more to Innsbruck than just winter sports.

The town was the Imperial capital of Habsburg Emperor Maximilian I during the 15th and 16th centuries and its architecture from the period is a delight to behold.

Visit the Hofkirche, the Court Church, and see the ornate black-marble tomb prepared for Maximilian, that he never occupied, and the 24 larger-than-life statues of his ancestors, both legendary and real, surrounding it.

After lunch on your own, continue on into the Italian Alps to lovely Bolzano for a two-night stay at the Parkhotel Laurin in the historic center of the town. A special treat awaits you this evening at Castel Katzenzungen, first mentioned in the year 1244, with its splendid views of the Dolomites.

Everywhere you look today, you´ll see the alpine splendor that makes the Dolomites so astounding. Board a cable car at Passo Pordoi for a memorable ride through a wonderland of craggy, snow-capped peaks reaching toward the sky.

Stop in the lovely mountain village of Ortisei, with its lively historic pedestrian center, en route back to Balzano to enjoy the remainder of the day as you please.

Board a boat for a memorable cruise across the sparkling lake, Italy´s largest, surrounded by spectacular scenery and bordered by lemon orchards, charming villages and impressive villas. Then it´s on to your final destination for today magical Venice, where you´ll spend two nights at an opulent five-star luxury hotel.

Set directly on the Grand Canal in the heart of the city, the Hotel Danieli Venezia began life more than six centuries ago as the palace of the Doge Dandolo, one of the rulers of Venice.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch Lodging: Hotel Danieli Venezia, Venice, Italy

Venice awaits
Venice, the world-famous city of canals where the streets are paved with water, beckons today.

Accompanied by a local guide, begin your exploration in Piazza San Marco, the huge living room of Venice so popular with locals, tourists… and pigeons. Resplendent St. Mark´s Basilica will inspire you with its architecture, amazing gold-touched mosaics depicting stories from the Bible, numerous sculptures, and the Treasure of St. Mark´s consisting of gold and silver, precious stones, ornamental glass and painting and its centerpiece, the Pala de Oro.

As you discover the Doges´ Palace, you may think that you hear a sigh as you cross the Bridge of Sighs, linking the Ducal Palace with the prison section; the sighs of prisoners seeing the light of day for the last time as they crossed it gave the bridge its name. The remainder of the day is yours to savor Venice as you choose.

Please join us this evening to salute the end of your Oberammergau travel experience at our farewell reception followed by dinner.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner Lodging: Hotel Danieli Venezia, Venice, Italy
