Nuremberg & Munich Christmas Markets — 4 Nights, Twin City

November 2026 and December 2026 are on sale, from £429 per person. Market seasons are set locally each year, so we check the dates you want are actually running before anything is booked.

Barely, on this break — the months on sale are held at the same lead-in fare. What moves the figure is the day of the week and how close to Christmas you travel. Midweek and earlier in the season is cheaper and noticeably less crowded.

Four nights, which is what the break is built around: two full evenings at the markets and a day for Nuremberg and Munich itself. Tell us if you want it longer or shorter and we will price it.

Return flights from London (regional UK airports available at a supplement), 4 nights at NH Collection Nürnberg City & a comparable Munich hotel or similar (4★), Cabin baggage per person, The connection between the two cities and ATOL 10713 financial protection and a dedicated UK consultant.

Airport transfers, hold luggage and seat selection are optional extras, as is travel insurance, which you need to arrange separately. Meals are not included — the room is booked room only — and neither is market spending. Local city or tourist taxes are payable at the hotel.

NH Collection Nürnberg City & a comparable Munich hotel or similar (4★). Where a package says "or similar" we confirm the actual property in writing before you pay. If you want a specific hotel or a particular district, tell us and we will price it.

The lead-in fare is priced out of London. Regional departures are available and carry a supplement, which we confirm against live fares for your dates rather than applying a standard uplift.

No. British passport holders can visit the Schengen area, which includes Germany, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. Your passport must have been issued within the last 10 years of the date you arrive and be valid for at least three months after you leave. Always check the latest official entry requirements on GOV.UK before travelling.

Fingerprints and a photograph at the border, in place of the stamp. It affects how long the queue takes the first time rather than whether you can travel.

The euro. Cards work almost everywhere, but a good number of market stalls — especially food and mulled wine — take cash only, and many charge a small refundable deposit on the mug. Carry some notes.

Nürnberger bratwurst, Lebkuchen and a Munich beer. Prices at the stalls are set locally and are not part of the package, so budget for food, drink and anything you buy on top of the holiday price.

The New Town Hall on Marienplatz lit for the season. This pairs the most famous market in Germany with its largest southern city. Nuremberg supplies the Christkindlesmarkt and the Lebkuchen; Munich supplies the Marienplatz market, the beer halls and the scale.

Yes, with two caveats that apply anywhere at this time of year: the markets is busiest after dark and on the weekends closest to Christmas, and it is cold. Tell us the ages travelling and we will price the right room configuration rather than assume two adults.

Sooner than you would for a summer holiday. The weekends closest to Christmas fill first, and on this kind of short-haul fare the price only moves upwards as departure approaches.

Yes. Flights and hotel are sold together as a package under our ATOL licence 10713, and you receive an ATOL Certificate setting out what is covered. We also hold IATA accreditation 91285611. That is financial protection if a supplier fails; it is not travel insurance. Tell us your dates and departure airport, we confirm a live price, and once you are happy we hold the booking and set out the payment dates in writing.
