Trafalgar Tours released its Oberammergau 2010 brochure with 14 distinct itineraries and rates that start at $2,675 per person double occupancy. Each of the tours and departures featured in the new Oberammergau 2010 brochure includes pre-reserved tickets to the play. Trafalgar Tours' lengthy history of offering tours to the village and creating packages around this spectacle each decade means it can offer premium seats, top-tier accommodations and plenty of access to this attraction, which often sees more than 500,000 spectators in a season. All packages in Trafalgar's new brochure highlight the Oberammergau 2010 experience within a greater tour of Germany and, in several tour itineraries, a visit to Vienna, Paris and other legendary destinations in Europe.
The Oberammergau Passion Play happens once a decade since 1634, when its medieval villagers found their prayers answered and their village spared from the ravages of the great plague. In its 376 years and 37 seasons, the Oberammergau Passion Plays have attracted heads of state, royalty and travelers interested in witnessing a spectacular piece of Europe's embattled past. From May through September next year, the mountain hamlet of Oberammergau 60 miles southwest of Munich will come alive each afternoon and evening as the town's people reenact the Passion of the Christ from his arrival in Jerusalem to his resurrection in an eight-hour sensation (including dinner) of drama, tableaux and choruses.
