and most well-known in Germany, and as you walk around, don’t forget to taste

German town with Italian flair, you’ll enjoy the Christmas Markets with unique
crafts like hand-painted porcelain and Bohemian glass ornaments. And in Linz,

candlestick maker.
You’ll listen to dramatic sounds of an organ recital at the old convent in
Dürnstein, one of the prettiest towns on the Danube, and the orchestral sounds
of a Mozart and Strauss concert in Vienna. All this and more, in two countries
