10 Cities Around the World Worth Traveling to For Christmas

If shopping is your favorite Christmas activity, then Nuremberg is the place for you. People gather from around the world for the world famous Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt (Christmas market). Dating back to the early 1600s, this market still radiates tradition; each of the 180 stalls is made of regional spruce, and the city takes pride in what kind of goods can be sold. Vendors go through a rigorous approval process to be granted a spot, meaning no plastics or mass-produced goods. Instead, find hand-carved nutcrackers, hand-painted ornaments, and freshly baked gingerbread.
