Why do people love the Nuremberg Christmas market?

"Nuremberg is the Christmas City No. 1. The visitors from abroad and at home like the unique atmosphere of the market which is located on the Main Market Square between the Frauenkirche (Church of our Lady) and the Schoener Brunnen (Beautiful Fountain). Everywhere is the aroma and beauty of traditional German Christmas - the aroma of sweet roasted almonds, of delicious Nuremberg Gingerbread Cookies, of mulled wine and of other German Christmas bakery. Everywhere are most beautiful traditional Christmas tree ornaments, Christmas Angels, lanterns, Christmas creches, handmade prune dolls and more. There are no modern plastic toys. On the stage in front of the Church of our Lady perform choirs and orchestras singing and playing Christmas songs. The whole city is decorated in a most wonderful way." (Interview with

Nuremberg Convention and Tourist Office )
