Description
A touching guided tour that combines history, personal experiences, and social change. It presents familiar places in a new light – moving, thought-provoking, and surprisingly different.
Experience the Advent season in Graz in a special, personal way. This guided tour combines festive history with insights from personal experience: Together with a guide, you will explore the city's streets lit up for Christmas, quiet monastery courtyards, and historic squares.
You will learn, among other things, where Advent comes from, how Christmas was celebrated 200 years ago in the imperial household in Vienna, and how the Christmas tree found its way into Catholic Austria.
The tour tells not only of history and legends, but also of being visible, of going on despite everything, and of what Christmas can mean today. Honest, quiet, and approachable – for those who want to not only see Christmas but also feel it, and who are open to new perspectives between the lines of the city.
