What better way to savor the holiday spirit than to visit Germany’s glorious Christmas Markets—virtually unchanged for 500 years. Visitors young and young at heart will experience childlike wonder at these magical markets, including Frankfurt’s Weihnachtsmarkt and Nuremberg’s Christkindlesmarkt. For added pleasure, go back to the Middle Ages with Rothenburg’s Night Watchman, and journey even further back to prehistoric times at a paleontology museum.
