Our first destination is Heiligenkreuz Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded in 1133. One of the oldest continuously active monasteries in the world, it is a breathtaking example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. We will explore its peaceful cloisters and historic chapels, soaking in the timeless, spiritual atmosphere. This is a place where history feels alive. (Entrance fee is included in the tour price).

Baden
After the abbey, we will travel to the elegant spa town of Baden bei Wien. You will have ample time to explore its famous "Advent Mile," a charming Christmas market that stretches through the town's center. Bright wooden stalls, holiday music, and the scent of gingerbread — Baden’s Advent Market is small, cozy, and filled with local traditions.

Schlosspark Laxenburg
Laxenburg Palace Christmas Garden (Wednesdays–Fridays, Nov–Dec)
As dusk falls, we journey to a modern winter fairytale: the Christmas Garden at Laxenburg Palace Park.
