Today we cross into Germany to our hotel, pausing en route in the historic city of Frankfurt and its popular Christmas market. Frankfurt itself is the largest financial centre in Europe and is often called ‘Mainhattan’ due to it being a high-powered finance and business hub on the banks of the Main River. Frankfurt is also home to one of the world’s largest stock exchanges and its airport is the third largest in Europe. Despite all of this, the centre of Frankfurt is charming and traditional, with half-timbered buildings and cosy taverns.
During this time of year, Frankfurt hosts one of the loveliest Christmas markets in Germany. The elaborately decorated stalls, huddled around the Römerberg and St. Pauls Square, make this a Christmas experience you’ll never forget. We continue to our hotel on the outskirts of Nuremberg where we spend the next four nights.

Today you have the chance to spend time in the beautiful city of Bamberg on our optional excursion. Bamberg is a beautiful Bavarian city located on the confluence of the Main and Regnitz rivers. The Old Town of Bamberg is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site primarily because of its authentic medieval appearance.
At this time of year, the marketplace at Maximiliansplatz in Bamberg's pedestrian zone is filled with pre-Christmas magic. In the middle of the Old Town, see the illuminated and decorated shops and streets, plus enjoy the irresistible aroma of grilled bratwurst, roasted almonds, mulled wine and lebkuchen.
There will be ample free time in the town for you to explore at your leisure before returning to the hotel later this afternoon.
