The Holiday Markets of Nürnberg

The festive holiday markets of Nürnberg

The most celebrated Christmas Market in Germany occupies Nürnberg's main market square opposite the Church of Our Lady; over the years, touches like its golden-haired Christmas Angel and the Bavarian "Plum People" you'll see in its stalls have made it one of the most famous in Europe. And by the time the holiday season is over, more than two million people will have stopped by to shop for hand-made toys and ornaments, Christmas candles, gingerbread, and – of course – glühwein.

Experiencing Europe's Christmas Markets

Treasure the magic of Europe's Christmas Markets along the Danube

In every stop on your Christmas Markets cruise along the Danube, you'll enjoy all the magic of your destination's holiday markets, each of which has taken on a distinctive character of its own over the centuries. You'll discover those local traditions… like the hot mulled wine known as glühwein, served in collectible mugs unique to each market… that have caught on to become an indispensable part of the holiday celebration. Experience some special holiday magic on an exclusive visit to the Thurn und Taxis family's Palace of St. Emmeram in Regensburg. Tour this lavish Baroque family home – converted from a monastery in the 18th century – and browse its private Christmas Market.

We really loved how Tauck thought of everything on the cruise, from our arrival at the airport until we headed home, there were no worries.
