    • Although I have never been, I would be silly not to mention what is possibly the world's most famous Christmas market. It is certainly Germany's. In the Market Place, from the first of Advent every year, there is an explosion of stalls selling everything for your great holiday. Just expect a huge crowd from all over the world, and book your accommodation well in advance.

    • When I was little, my aunt who lives in Germany used to bring me Lebkuchen. I wasn't particularly fond of the apricot meets gingerbread, but always thought those two flavours were better apart. That is until I visited the HOME of the Lebkuchen. Nürnberg. Here, the Lebkuchen are sold everywhere, from the smallest market stall to official famous makers. In fact, you wonder how there can be a market for all of them! The concoction itself is simply a thick gingerbread biscuit with apricot, often coated in chocolate. It is especially popular around Christmas, when you even see Nürnberger bakers making Ginger houses out of the dough.
