Germany sired many of Europe’s Yuletide traditions, from decorated trees to Advent calendars. And at its Christmas markets you can still enjoy them free of the department-store schmaltz. Nuremburg’s medieval city centre boasts two crackers. In Hauptmark square, the Christkindlesmarkt (or ‘Christ child’s market’) offers you more than 200 stalls of strictly traditional stuffs and crafts. Plus, just a short walk away along the Nativity scene trail, there’s the children’s market with old-fashioned carousel, Ferris wheel and steam train. Must-buys include Nuremberg Plum People, little figures made from prunes.

One wonders why what was probably a German text has to go through English before becoming Italian !
Something went wrong...
