Esslingen am Neckar

Today we got up and went for cinnamon rolls for breakfast! This was another favorite from when I visited my friend in Munich and it wasn’t far from where we were staying so why not? So tasty!

Then we headed on to Esslingen am Neckar to spy on their Christmas market. I thought it would be small and I really wasn’t expecting much, but we loved it! The town is really fun to wander and the market was great! It was small, but had lots of different things, nicer things that were enjoyed spying on. Most of the market was medieval Christmas market which was fun. Plus they had a lot of vegan treats that were not fried or super sweet! That is harder to find at the Christmas markets so that was great. We got some fresh Turkish delights and this bread on a stick that had sun dried tomatoes and spices (I forgot to take a photo and forgot what exactly) and it was so so good! We ended up spending more time there than I expected. It was so nice to wander. I was talking to Raymond about how this was so much nicer than Regensburg in every way, but Regensburg is a much more popular tourist spot. I would definitely come back to Esslingen if we are in the area again!

Since we spent so much time there we didn’t get to our place for the night in Stuttgart until later so we will explore those markets tomorrow!Read more
