Nuremberg Christmas Market: An older magic than expected!

Nuremberg Christmas Market: An older magic than expected!

In the cooler season, when the first lights shine and the smell of mulled wine is in the air, the annual Christmas market season begins in Germany. The anticipation of the contemplative weeks can be felt everywhere. A particularly notable Christmas market that has grown in popularity in recent years is the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt. For everyone who believed that this market was ancient, there is a surprising discovery: As Spiegel reports, the traditional market is actually younger, than many think.

In 2025, the festively decorated stands will open their doors again and many visitors from near and far are expected. Christmas markets are not only a place of joy, but also an opportunity to discover regional specialties and experience conviviality. This year's Christmas market season traditionally begins after Dead Sunday, which falls on November 24th in 2024, and usually ends on December 26th.

An insider tip among the Christmas markets

Although the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt is a classic, there are many lesser-known markets that are also worth visiting. For example, this is the name of the Christmas market in the Ravenna Gorge in the Black Forest, which lies under an impressive viaduct arch of the Höllentalbahn. This market offers 40 stalls with regional delicacies, gingerbread and mulled wine. And for everyone who is afraid to travel: A free shuttle bus takes visitors directly from Hinterzarten to the market. Further information can be found at Glamour.

The opening hours of the Christmas markets are usually from midday to the evening, although busy city markets can open in the morning. The majority close between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Here you should be well informed in order to secure the best seats and enjoy the various delicacies.
