The heavenly smell of pastries and mulled wine is in the air and a cup of steaming punch warms hands and stomach. There is nothing better than visiting a Christmas market in the run-up to Christmas to get into the Christmas spirit. These five Christmas markets in Germany are not to be missed!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christkindlesmarkt Nuremberg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the Christkind traditionally opens the Christmas market, you know: you are in Nuremberg<\/a>. The Christkindlesmarkt<\/a><\/strong> in southern Germany is probably one of the most famous Christmas markets in the world. It has a long tradition, as it is said to have been mentioned in writing for the first time as early as 1628 on a flower-painted chipboard box made of coniferous wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with the special feature that the Christ Child comes to the opening, with trumpet fanfares and choir singing \u2013 and collects the wish lists of the children. In general, the Christkindlesmarkt is very child-friendly: at a separate stand, the little ones can bake cookies, paint glasses, or ride the carousel and Ferris wheel on the nostalgic fairground. Dates: Nov. 26-Dec. 24, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n
