Nestled in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, less than a two-hour drive from Munich, the quaint village of Oberammergau is one of Europe’s most unique destinations. Every ten years, this town draws visitors from across the globe as host to what is regarded as the most important Passion Play in the world. The Passion Play, an epic event that traces Jesus’ life, death and resurrection, is a moving feast of drama and music.
In 1633 soldiers returning home from the Thirty Years War brought with them the Black Plague. After much death and suffering, leaders of the community in Oberammergau came together, pledging to hold a play honouring the life of Christ every ten years. From that day forward, no additional villagers perished from the plague. The event continues today with performers all native to the village.
When you choose one of our special departures that includes the Passion Play, you’ll receive your ticket and stay right in Oberammergau at a hotel conveniently located near the auditorium. The auditorium where the play will be held offers comfortable seats set on an incline, providing everyone with a good view. During a break in the performance, you’ll join your fellow travellers for dinner before returning for the remainder of your Passion Play performance. This powerful play is not to be missed.
