First, arrive in Nuremberg and transfer privately to your hotel located in the city center. Begin with a full-day guided tour that showcases the city’s highlights, including Nürnberg Castle and Old Town. Visit the Nazi Areal for a glimpse into history, then continue with a Christmas market foodie experience. While here, savor local favorites like Nürnberger Bratwürste, mulled Glühwein, and gingerbread.
On the following day, explore Nuremberg’s underground Felsengänge tunnels. Indeed, locals once used these tunnels for brewing and storing the city’s famous red beer. As such, you will have the chance to tour a working craft brewery and sample seasonal specialties.
In the afternoon, return to the Christmas markets for more holiday shopping and festive ambiance. This part of your Germany Christmas Market Tour perfectly captures the spirit of Nuremberg’s holiday traditions.
Your Germany Christmas Market Tour then continues along the scenic Romantic Road to Munich. Along the way, you will stop in Rothenburg for a guided walk through its charming medieval center, decked in holiday lights.
