See impressive Sights and Immerse Yourself in Festive Cheer Visit Nuremberg, a city with an intriguing past, and get into the yuletide spirit at the Christkindmarket. In the Old Town, admire the half-timbered houses as you stroll the pretty cobblestoned streets of the historic walled city. Pass landmarks including the 11th-century Imperial Castle, which towers above the medieval center. See one of the oldest churches in Nuremberg, St. Sebaldus Church, then stop to see the famous Toy Museum and learn about the city’s 600-year old tradition. Stop at the Christkindlmarket and savor culinary delicacies, including grilled sausages, typically accompanied by sauerkraut and a serving of mustard. A staple of the city for more than 700 years, its grilled aroma wafts through the market, along with glühwein and spiced gingerbread. The fragrant treat comes in various shapes, including large, frosted hearts, making for a sweet souvenir. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
