Nuremberg Christmas Market Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide

Until Christmas Eve, a small town of more than 180 wooden stands all decorated for Christmas and lighten up to transform it into a “Christmas City”. Find traditional Christmas hand-made ornaments from the local “Rauschgoldengel” (gold-foil angel), the “Zwetschgenmännle” (Little Prune Man), to a plethora of toys and games and delicious holiday treats for gifts. Try the famous 600 years traditional Lebkuchen and gingerbread cake and take a sip of the typical Glühwein, a hot mulled wine to warm you up in cold weather. Visit the Children's Christmas Market, with its nostalgic merry-go-round, bakery and Santa Claus’ home. Don’t forget to look for the Nuremberg Christkind, known as “baby Jesus”, who traditionally brings presents to children on Christmas day. Christkind is the symbol of Christmas here, and he visits the market from Tuesday to Friday, at 3 pm. With blond locks, a big crown and dressed in a gold dress. If you find him, ask for a picture or even tell him your Christmas wish!
