5. Nuremberg
While the oldest German Christmas market is that from Dresden, the market from Nuremberg is the most popular among tourists in Germany, gathering over two million visitors per year! This part of Germany distinguishes from the rest by the handmade iconic prune men – Zwetschgenmännle.
You can find hundreds of them on those over 180 decorated market stands. Even if they are made of comestible products, the sellers will advice you not to eat the poor men. As well, better not miss the opening ceremony of the Nuremberg market, which offers a unique performance of a Christkind each year, before the first Advent.
