Due to popular demand, we have added some Central and Eastern Europe coach tours which include accommodation in the Oberammergau area and tickets to see the Passion Play in 2010!
The town of Oberammergau was affected by the Great plague that swept Europe in 1633 with many losing their lives. The villagers made a pledge if they survived this mystery illness they would perform a passion play every 10 years depicting the life and death of Christ.
As most of the town was spared, the villagers kept their promise with their first performance in 1634. The play has taken place ever since, making it one of the oldest running performances in the world. World renowned the Paget takes place over 5 months with over 2,000 performers, musicians and stage technicians, all residents of Oberammergau. Experience this wonderful spectacle in 2010, as once again the tradition continues.
