The Christmas Market of the city of Nuremberg is famous worldwide. With over two million visitors per year, the "Christkindlesmarkt" is almost a multicultural experience all by itself as you will be surrounded by people from all nationalities and no matter where you come from, you might be able to hear people speaking in your own language. But few of these people know about the market of Nuremberg's twin towns, located right behind the Christmas Market. The market has over fifteen stalls offering original local products. You'll be able to find Scottish kilts, Spanish wine, Russian matryoshka dolls and much more. The atmosphere also has its own flair. The ever-present crowds just a couple of meters away won't be as prominent here. You'll actually have time to stop and look at the products without being pushed around or stepped on. If you're planning on going to Nuremberg this Christmas, do go to the Christkindlesmarkt; its fame didn't come out of nowhere. But don't forget to check out the smaller but equally magical market of the twin towns.
