The fact that there’s an explorable Medieval castle, a symbol of the city since the Middle Ages, and a legendary Christmas market only sweetens the deal. The best way to get a sense of Nuremberg is by wandering the Hauptmarkt, the main market located in the center of Old Town. There are colorful stands here throughout the year, but the real attraction—drawing two million visitors during each Advent season—is the Christkindlesmarkt, Nuremberg’s famed Christmas market. Outside of the main market, Nuremberg is a diverse and exciting shopping destination. The most traditional artisans in the city set up shop near the market in northern Old Town.
