Nuremberg, Germany — Gingerbread & Fairytales

  • Home to one of the oldest Christmas markets in Europe, Nuremberg is pure nostalgia. Kids can meet the golden “Christkind,” ride the vintage carousel, and fill pockets with gingerbread hearts.

    • What Is the Christkind?

  • The Christkind is one of Germany’s most charming Christmas traditions. Instead of Santa Claus, many German families celebrate the Christkind — an angel-like figure with golden curls, a white gown, and a shimmering crown.
  • In Nuremberg, a young local girl is chosen each year to embody the Christkind. She opens the market with a festive prologue delivered from the balcony of the Frauenkirche, and throughout the season she visits children, spreads holiday cheer, and brings the magic of Christmas to life.
  • This tradition is one of the reasons Nuremberg’s Christkindlesmarkt feels so special and enchanting for families.
