    Why Go There?

    End of November till Christmas Eve

    Every year from late November till Christmas Eve, the Hauptmarkt of Nuremberg, is taken over by Germany´s most famous Christkindlesmarkt.

    Yuletide shoppers descend on the "Christmas city" from all over Europe to seek out unique gifts at the scores of colorful timber tinket stalls that fill the square. More than 2 Million people are coming annualy to Nuremberg only to see the Christkindlesmarkt. Within a wonderful opening ceremony the "Christkind" opens the doors of the market:

    "You Mr and Mrs's, that where once children, be one again today, rejoice in their art. Christkind invites you to its markets, and all those coming, should feel welcome."

    The approximately 180 stalls offer traditional, often handmade christmas ornaments, traditional decoration and various goodies. Don´t miss to get a taste of the aroma of `Lebkuchen`(gingerbread), mulled wine or roast sausages which are regional specialities.

    Additional attractions include the children's Christmas, a beautiful child-friendly addition to the Christmas market itself. The Sternenhaus and the christmas market of the partner cities of Nürnberg complete the Christkindlesmarkt as well as the lantern procession of the children of Nuremberg. In the very center of the market you will find a crib building in which the christmas story is represented by moving figues.
