Wittenberg, Germany

Wittenberg City Walk & Christmas Market

Ponder the Legacy of Martin Luther and Browse Festive Yuletide Stalls Stroll in the footsteps of Martin Luther, founder of the Protestant Reformation, and browse a festive market. Wittenberg’s history centers around the actions and teachings of Luther, the Augustinian monk who nailed his “95 Theses” to the door of All Saints’ Church, the palace’s castle church. Walk with your guide to this late Gothic gem, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Luther preached here, and you will see the “Theses Doors” to which he attached his historic message. Inside, see Luther’s grave, as well as that of his fellow reformer Melanchthon. Continue to the market square for a stroll around the festive stalls, exploring an array of seasonal goods and reveling in the joyous holiday atmosphere. After, visit St. Mary’s Church, a UNESCO Site where Luther was married and often preached. Then, briefly stop at the courtyard of his former private residence before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
