Jamie Scott Roney, thank you for this quaint and festive photo of the Nuremberg Christmas market mug overlooking the historic city and market which will be held will be held from Nov. 29–Dec. 24, 2024.

Known as “the little city of wood and cloth,” the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt is one of the oldest and most famous in the world, dating back to the 17th century. There are many traditions at this market including feasting on the over 700-year-old recipe for Nuremberg Bratwurst and sampling the famous Nuremberg gingerbread. You can also purchase official licensed products of Nuremberg like a special wax sealing stamp or a Christkindlesmarkt cookie stamp. For music lovers, there are many Christmas music concerts to heighten the holiday spirit. For more information, visit tourismus.nuernberg.de.
