From Nuremberg, known as the “Gingerbread Capital of the World” and home to one of the largest Christmas Markets, we will cruise to Bamberg, a charming medieval city, which has four extraordinary Christmas Markets and a captivating amount of nativity scenes located along the nativity trail.
From there you will travel to Würzburg’s glorious Christmas Market, held in the square in front of the old City Hall. Beautifully decorated wooden huts are illuminated by the soft glow of Christmas lighting, and the air is filled with the scent of roasted chestnuts and the sound of Christmas songs.
You will also explore Wertheim during an entertaining walking tour of the city enjoying exquisite traditional mulled wine and Christmas Stollen. Located at the confluence of the Tauber and Main rivers, Wertheim is a lovely village with over a thousand years of history.
