DAY 6: THE PASSION PLAY
Today features the highlight of our tour: the magnificent Oberammergau Passion Play. Divided into two halves, this behemoth of a production showcases the final days of Jesus Christ’s life, chronicling his Passion in a performance which features over 2,000 villagers as both cast and crew. Unsurprisingly, the play is of massive importance for the village, due much in part to the fact that it is only performed once every ten years, adding a huge sense of gravitas to each showing, and our top tier tickets grant us some of the best seats in the house.

Breakfast, Dinner
