Later, visit the town's renowned Christmas market, held in front of the old City Hall, for some one-of-a-kind gifts for friends back home. Beautifully decorated wooden booths are illuminated by the soft glow of Christmas lighting, and the air is filled with the scent of roasted chestnuts and the sound of Christmas carols. One of the best ways to embrace a different culture is through encounters with local residents, which you'll experience this afternoon in a typical Franconian village. Make new friends over hot drinks and homemade seasonal treats. ...

On your guided walking tour of the village, you'll hear a lot about daily life in Wertheim, as well as facts about the town and its history. Its many well-preserved medieval buildings-complete with low doors and tiny windows-attest to the inconveniences of life in the Middle Ages. ...
