Day 2 - Munich
We start today with a visit to Nymphenburg Palace, which was once the main summer residence of the former rulers of Bavaria. The palace is of Baroque style and some rooms still show their original Baroque decoration. It is now one of the most famous sights in Munich and the gardens contain two lakes, canals, fountains and pavilions. After lunch, we continue on to the Residenz, Germany’s largest city palace and official home of the royal Wittelsbach family. The first buildings here were erected in 1385 as a castle, and over time it was transformed by its rulers into a magnificent palace. It now contains ten courtyards and over 100 rooms.

Day 3 - Munich - Oberammergau
This morning we drive through the beautiful scenery of the Bavarian Alps towards the village of Oberammergau, home to the world-famous Passion Play that takes place just once every ten years. After lunch, we gather together to attend the legendary Passion Play. The play will be a unique and traditional experience, performed by the residents of Oberammergau. Dinner is included during the intermission. Each decade sees an adjustment to the play, which is influenced by the years that have passed in between. The play itself presents the Passion of Jesus Christ, from his triumphant entry into Jerusalem, through to his trial, crucifixion, resurrection and finally Ascension.

Today we move from Oberammergau to the storybook streets of Salzburg, a city with a rich, diverse history and influential music heritage.

Mozart composed many of his masterpieces here and it is now a museum that takes visitors on a journey through his life and works. Mozart’s birthplace is also nearby, and it is here that we enjoy a private piano recital of his work, performed on a fortepiano dating from the 18th century.
