Christkindlesmarkt

Nuremberg is known for one of the most romantic and festive Christmas markets in the country. Around 180 wooden stalls entice visitors with Glühwein, gingerbread, sausages, etc., along with handmade Christmas ornaments and trinkets. If you are ready to be a little adventurous, try the Feuerzangenbowle – a potent drink made by dipping a sugar loaf in rum, and setting it on fire over a bowl of mulled wine (a concoction of red wine, spices, and orange peel). Nuremberg’s Christkindlesmarkt boasts the largest bowl of this Christmas drink in the world, with a capacity of 9,000 liters! Nuremberg also scores major brownie points with kids with its special Christmas market for children, complete with carousels, rides, hands-on activities, cookie-baking sessions, and lots more.
