When the Christmas lights are lighted up for the first time at Armazéns do Chiado, it means that the Christmas season is officially open. The lights call for late afternoon walks around Lisbon, where you may find several craft stalls, ice rinks, concerts and a lot of joy. Santa Claus is of course always moving around the city, trying to figure out the wishes of the younger ones.  Before visiting the markets it’s always worthwhile charging batteries with a slice "king’s cake” or "queen’s cake”  -season-typical Portuguese Christmas pastries. You will find both these and other Christmas delicacies in almost every pastry shop in the city.  So let’s put a warm coat on, wear a comfortable pair of shoes, and start your visit to Lisbon’s Christmas markets…

The Nurnemberg Christmas Markets

The Nuremberg Christmas market is one of the oldest and certainly the most famous Christmas market in the world. In the wooden stalls of the “little town made of wood and cloth” you can find traditional, often hand-made Christmas decorations and sweet treats such as gingerbread. Additional attractions include the children's Christmas and the star house, the market of the twin cities and the Nuremberg children's light parade.
