Nuremberg: The Christmas City – Guided Tour with Culinary Delights and an Appearance by St. Nicholas｜Germany

Discover Nuremberg at Christmas – Old Town, History & Christkindlesmarkt!

Important note: This is not a guided tour of Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt. It takes you through Nuremberg's festively decorated Old Town and focuses on Nuremberg's history, traditions and Christmas customs. The Christkindlesmarkt is part of the itinerary and will be viewed from the outside.

Who actually started the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt? Who is behind the Nuremberg Christ Child? How many wooden stalls and fabric stalls does the market actually have? And what's the story behind the golden “Zwetschgermoh” (plum man)?

On this atmospheric Christmas tour of Nuremberg's Old Town, you will discover historical sites and learn fascinating stories about the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt and Nuremberg as a Christmas city.

It's not just about the market itself: You will learn more about Nuremberg's history, Christmas traditions, customs and practices of bygone eras, and discover the Old Town from a special Christmas perspective.

Look forward to fascinating historical background, authentic anecdotes and Nuremberg Christmas stories – all set against the festive atmosphere of the Old Town.

To round things off, we will get into the Christmas spirit with a glass of mulled wine and enjoy a masterfully prepared gingerbread cookie.

Important: As part of the guided tour, you will view the Christkindlesmarkt from the outside. A walking tour among the market stalls and an in-depth experience of the market itself are not part of this guided tour.

If you would like to discover and experience Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt with all your senses, we recommend our separate guided tour "Enjoy the Christkindlesmarkt with all your senses".

Please note: The Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt itself is not the subject of a detailed guided tour. For an immersive experience right at the Christkindlesmarkt, we recommend our separate tour “Enjoy the Christkindlesmarkt with all your senses.”
