Nuremberg Christmas market- wise me up

A group of four, we are going to be in Munich in December. I wanted to take a train and visit another Christmas Market. I was looking medieval. I was outnumbered. We are going to Nuremberg for the day.

Please give me hints and advice regarding the Christmas market(s) in Nuremberg

I thought Nuremberg still had a medieval centre. Rebuilt after being damaged in WWII, but done using the old plans. If you are doing it as a day trip, then you may only have time for the main Chriskindlesmarkt, given it's large size. Don't forget to try the wurst, lebkuchen, and glühwein.

Do Rothenburg as a daytrip from Nuremberg. The market is rather small but the town is worth the trip

Nuremberg is one of my favorites. I’ve gone to Christmas Markets off and on since 1989 when I visited Trier in 1999. These markets reflect in my view the city they’re in.

I don’t know what tricks or hints are with the “Market scene” other than enjoy the mood. Munich is a good place to do a Christmas Market and a day later another In Nuremberg. The only market I haven’t seen but would like to go to is Dresden. Don’t overthink this other than to enjoy yourself.

Go in the evening when it is dark. First stop get a Glühwein.
