Salzburg Christmas Eve Tour to the Silent Night Chapel

Salzburg, Austria

Your knowledgeable tour guide will escort you through the foothills of the Alps, along the Salzach river valley to Oberndorf, where you will have the opportunity to take part in a touching Christmas celebration in the Silent Night Chapel.

The church is small accommodating only 12 - 15 people inside, therefore the Holy Mass will be celebrated on the outside of the chapel. Please ensure you dress appropriately for the weather conditions.

USD $47.24

Loved this though didn't think there would be so many people. It was magical. A little long to stand for the ceremony but hot drinks helped.

Very nostalgic, but get a front spot early or you won't be able to see much of it. Plenty of Gluwein sold at the Christmas market though so well worth it.

This venue had lots of local charm but I felt an hour wait for the start was a little too long. The international crowd added to the appeal and the local talent was a very nice touch. At the end of the event I was hoping for a group sing-along in all of the languages represented. This was a very nice event presented on an appropriate scale.

This was a pretty nice tour, but be ready for a lot of people. It is unlikely to be able to see any of the activity such as in the picture. You do get to hear it however, as it is on the loudspeakers due to the crowds. It is, however, a really touching and warm ceremony to be a part of and the tour guide makes a really good effort to make it worth while. Buses are comfortable and the guide had a good sense of humour and was very knowledgeable.

A very memorable experience. The sky was overcast, but when the chorus began signing Silent Night at the end of the service, the clouds opened and a full moon and stars shown through. It was very inspirational. Plus, we had a excellent tour guide who paid lots of attention to the English speakers on board the bus.

A special memory for us all on this trip - my son got a bit bored standing for the service outside the chapel as it was cold and crowded and went on longer than expected. Would have liked to have had a look inside the chapel but didn't have enough time and had to run to the coach at end due to service taking longer than usual.
