Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt

"The Christkindlesmarkt, dating back to the 16th century, is a true icon of Christmas markets. Its centerpiece is the Christkind, a radiant angelic figure who opens the market with a solemn prologue. As you wander through the market's narrow streets, you'll be greeted by the sweet scent of gingerbread, the savory aroma of Nuremberg sausages, and the sight of beautifully crafted ornaments and gifts. Nuremberg's Christmas market is not just a place to shop; it's a celebration of tradition and culture. The Children's Christmas Market offers fun and entertainment for the little ones, while the Zwetschgenmännle, whimsical figurines made from dried plums, make for unique souvenirs. The Christmas market is open from December 1st through December 24th, 2023 from 10am-9pm daily."

"Every year, on Nuremberg's Main Market Square, a young local woman dressed as the Christkind, a winged angel with a golden crown, officially opens the market. The market is renowned for its Rauschgold angels, wooden nutcrackers, nativity scenes, and dazzling stars. The Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt, known as "the little city of wood and cloth," is one of the world's oldest and most famous Christmas markets! Don't forget to sample some of the mouthwatering culinary delights, such as lebkuchen gingerbread cookies, mulled wine, and bratwurst."
