One of the reasons to come to Nuernberg in the winter is the Christkindlesmarkt that takes place every year during the entire month of December. If you do come to visit there are two things you must try. First is the Nuernberger Bratwurst, served three at a time on a hard roll. Second is the traditional lebkuchen, or gingerbread cookies. They are soft and moist and regardless of when I have them now or in the future they will make me think of Christmas in a medieval German town.
