In the contemplative pre-Christmas period, Nuremberg's main market square and the adjacent streets are transformed into a glittering sea of lights. The scent of gingerbread, speculoos, cinnamon and mulled wine fills the streets and attracts thousands of visitors to Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt every year for a pre-Christmas get-together. The oldest and certainly the most famous Christkindlesmarkt in the world makes not only children's eyes sparkle.
