The Old Town is decorated in its Christmas regalia and permeated with the tempting aromas of mulled wine, sweet roasted almonds, Nuremberg sausages and gingerbread creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The Christkindlesmarkt lies right at the heart of the city which is steeped in more than 400 years of tradition providing an international showcase for all Franconian and German Christmas Markets.

Younger visitors may enjoy the Kinderweihnacht (Children's Christmas Market) where historic steam-powered merry-go-rounds and other activities are waiting for them. A small international district of stalls from the many sister cities and associated regions of Nuremberg sends market visitors form far and wide on a "trip around the world" from Europe to China, to South America and the United States of America.

The world-famous Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg has a special charm at any time of the day! But it is most romantic in the evenings. During the week you will find more room for a leisurely look around than during the crowded weekends.
