Nuremberg Hauptmarkt

For 700 years, the Hauptmarkt (Main Market Square) has been the heart of Nuremberg. It is not just a "main market" or a central square. During the day, trade in fresh produce from farm fields is bustling here; at noon, hundreds of tourists look up at the ancient clock on the church; and in December, millions of visitors flock here from all over the world to see the legendary Christmas market.
