Visit to Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt

I can finally share our escapades with my husband today in Nuremberg. Let me tell you first a brief history of this old city. Before the devastation wrought by the terrible air raids of 1945, Nuremberg or Nuernberg in German was Germany's greatest surviving medieval city. The destruction was not total. Sensitive rebuilding has respected the ancient street pattern, enabling the visitor to recapture the atmosphere of the city's heyday, in the 15th and 16th centuries, when it was the principal focus of Germany's politics, culture trade, science and technology.

Let me continue our sightseeing trip today to one of Germany's international city. Christkindlesmarkt means simply Christmas market. It is usually held during the last week of November till the 23rd of December. This is already my second time visiting the Chriskindlesmarkt. The first one was in 2005 but I was already a lot of times there and I really like this city. A lot of people were there from the different parts of the world and also from other places in Germany. What really amazed me are the very nice Christmas decorations in the different stalls their. Of course, I always eat this famous Nuernberger Bratwurst, a special kind of sausage.

Me and my husband visited for the first time the the Kaiserburg or Imperial castle. This castle is located in a small hill where you can see the whole view of the city. And of course, I always have with me my pocket camera to take some pictures. I was surprised because I have 344 photos taken up only for today's visit to Nuernberg. I really like it. I also bought some souvenirs like postcards which I always do everytime I am going anywhere. Today is a again a great day!!! Thanks to God!!!
