There’s nothing better than the dairy products you can buy in Bavaria, so why not pair it with a view of a historic church! When we went to the market square in Nuremberg, we had no idea we would happen upon a gothic church that dates back to 1352ad! If you visit Frauenkirche at noon, you might be lucky enough to hear the old clock chime.

Nuremberg'
Nuremberg's #Main Market Square # is not only the Christmas party, but also the summer is also as gorgeous as Christmas, highlighting its position in the Christmas market industry.
Going here, you can basically go shopping for an hour and browse the market. There are so many things you can buy in the market. There are some German crafts and Christmas goods, including many crafts in it. A lot of surprises, if you feel that there are obstacles in communication, it doesn't matter. The Germans are very kind and very patient, and they have the same calculator as our nationals.
In addition, there is an unlimited amount of gourmet beer orgy in the market. Basically, the stalls of the carts are neatly arranged, so they are very orderly and very enthusiastic. Feeling that there are language troubles, the price will be marked on the small blackboard of each family, and paying directly will be ok.
The market has a beautiful spring symbolizing luck, and the Church of Our Lady can pray. Of course, you can also take the Emperor Fort from the downtown area to overlook the panorama, beautiful! #

Nutcrackers and Nuremberg: A Christmas Market Dream
#holidayseason
If you could bottle the magic of Christmas and sprinkle it over a city, you’d get the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt. This Bavarian gem isn’t just one of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany; it’s the ultimate holiday wonderland, straight out of a snow globe.
Held in the historic Hauptmarkt square, this market is a feast for all your senses. Imagine rows of charming wooden stalls, decked in festive red-and-white stripes, each offering traditional delights that’ll make your holiday heart sing. The air smells like roasted almonds, mulled wine (Glühwein), and Nürnberger Lebkuchen—gingerbread so good it’s practically legendary.
Of course, no visit to Nuremberg’s market is complete without a taste of their famous Nürnberger Rostbratwurst. These tiny sausages, served in a crusty bun with a dollop of mustard, pack a mighty punch of flavor. Pair them with a hot cup of Glühwein, served in collectible mugs that change designs every year—a souvenir you can sip from!
The market is presided over by the Christkind, a golden angel-like figure who opens the festivities with a poetic prologue. Wander through the stalls to discover handcrafted ornaments, nutcrackers, and toys that will fill your stockings with charm and nostalgia.
For a quieter experience, visit the nearby Children’s Market, complete with a carousel and sweet treats for the little ones (or the young at heart).
Whether you’re here to shop, snack, or soak in the festive spirit, the Nuremberg Christmas Market is pure holiday magic.

Rock legend Sting tours, about Nuremberg, things you didn't know
Date: 2023/12/6
Venue: Arena Nürnberger Versicherung
The septuagenarian rock star Sting continues his tour, and this time he has arrived in Nuremberg, Germany. Nuremberg was one of the ruling centers directly governed by the emperors of the 'Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation', a city filled with art and history. Let's take a look at some of the must-visit spots!
1. Nuremberg Castle
The Kaiserburg is a very iconic medieval building in Nuremberg, also known as Nuremberg Castle. Nearly every emperor of the Roman Empire has stayed here. The castle's buildings are connected by passages, corridors, tunnels, and gardens.
2. Beautiful Fountain
On the octagonal stone basin in Hauptmarkt, stands a 19-meter-tall tower, its golden glow shimmering with the square.
3. Main Market Square
The Main Market Square is the heart of Nuremberg's old town. Here you can see traditional markets that continue to this day, and of course, it's a very lively place during Christmas. There are also many ancient buildings nearby, among which the famous one is the very old Gothic church in the Bavarian region—St. Mary's Church in Nuremberg.

The Historical City Of Nuremberg
Germany is filled with many historical old medieval buildings and historical landmarks and castles. The city of Nuremberg is one of 2nd largest German city where you be able to see these many well preserved buildings, bridges, and even restaurants made of thick sturdy wood making it a very cosy homely environment to dine in.
While in Nuremburg, do drop by the old town where you will be able to see the nuremburg castle, the Saint Sevald Church and the toy musuem. Of course all these are tourists attractions which require entrance fee which you can buy it at the place itself. If you also realise, the streets are filled with cobblestones, those that you normally see in the movies where horses and carriages gallops across.
Do also remember to visit the Hauptmarkt where this is also a market place located right in the centre of Nuremberg just by the Pegnitz River. Sadly, we went on a Sunday, and didn't have the chance to visit these amazing German Market. Would love to sink my teeth in one of those German sausages and fried pommes.
