      A Week in Nuremberg

      January 14 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 32 °F

      Arrived in Nuremberg, checked into the Karl August Hotel and walked to an amazing Italian restaurant for dinner. After dinner we came back to the hotel and went to the Sauna for a bit.

      Day 2- Klaus worked today and I was lazy and relaxed. I finally got moving and had dinner at a cute wine bar. When Klaus got back to the hotel we went to a cute bar and had a glass of wine, a Sarti Spritz (It’s a take on an aperol but with a liquor called Sarti) and a cheese plate with the most delicious fig and horseradish jelly. Off to bed, Klaus has an early morning.

      Day3- Klaus went to work for the day, I froze my butt off and walked around. Klaus got back and we had dinner at an Indian restaurant, not normally something we would choose but the food was great!

      Day 4- Klaus was up early again for work and I was slow to get moving 😂😂. Once again I walked around the charming town freezing my butt off with the rain snow mix. Did a little shopping and met Klaus back at the hotel. Tonight we walked to greek restaurant with once again amazing food. Unfortunately we ordered a grilled platter and I was unaware that the entire thing was pork 😂😂😂😂 needless to say they were quick to remedy the situation and got me a plate of grilled lamb so yummy!!!! Ended the evening at the hotel bar with an aperol and espresso martini.

      Day 5- We woke up and were supposed to drive to Stuttgart then Munich but Klaus is sick again with the never ending cough. Grabbed some cough drops, a cappuccino and a cake called bienenstich. (one of his grandmas favorites) 🍰 We drove to Munich did a little shopping and ended up at the doctors hoping to get medicine to control the cough on the 12 hour flight tomorrow. Checked into the Hilton at the Airport grabbed a little dinner and rearranged the suitcases, we will only be taking carry-ons for the Asia trip. The larger suitcases will be stored at the airport until we return for our flight home to USA. Super excited to ditch the cold, bring on the heat and sunshine. ☀️

      Day 6- I unfortunately have the cough also. 😞😞 Barely slept, loaded up on medicine and made it to the lounge for a mimosa before our flight. ✈️      Read more

      Nuremberg: A Beutiful and Exciting city

      December 24, 2023 in Germany ⋅ 🌬 9 °C

      After our visit to the Christkindlesmarkt, we went on exploring the city of Nuremberg. Although we couldn't roam around a lot, we roamed around the Operhaus Ubahn station. The U-Bahn station itself was so different from the rest of the Ubahn stations we had visited in Germany. It was old but stylish, open and gave a good feeling. Wanted to visit the DB museum, but it was closed. However, when we walked our way back near the HBF (Main railway station), we visited the Operhaus (Opera House) of Nuremberg, which was majestic. The walk along the Frauentormauer (from Operhaus Ubahn station till Handwerkershof) is also beautiful. The Open passageway below this gives a feeling of Castle passageway, which has a nice vibe to it.
      Then we visited the lake of Nuremberg (that's what we like to call it) and there we got to see the Meergottsbrunnen (I guess it has something to do with the sea god Poseidon - who's also know as for being the god of horses (crazy right !)). The statue has a man sitting on top of a galloping horse, which looks great with the lake as background.
      Then we returned towards the Lorenzkirche (St. Lawrence Church) which we felt, is the most famous church of Nuremberg. However, we were not able to enter this church, as it seemed closed.
      So, we visited other churches - St. Elisabeth church, and St. Jakob's church.
      Both were huge and were open. We entered the church, and they were large and beautifully decorated. One thing which we get to see a lot in Germany (actually in Europe for that matter) : Large and Majestic Catholic churches. One can only imagine how big the Lorenzkirche would have been (it was definitely much bigger than these churches). We prayed to God, admired the decorations of the church and left to have our dinner at DelhiEats - which is an amazing Indian restaurant.
      Finally, after dinner, we retired for the day and went back to our AirBnB accommodation.      Read more

      medieval times

      July 26, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Today we explored the beautiful little town of Nürnberg, which was a pleasant suprise as it was only planned to be a one night stay. Nürnberg made a very good fusion of its old school roots and the newer building style.🏰

      Sadly we only stayed one night, if we knew how beautiful this town was in advance, we would have stayed longer. Maybe another day.😊      Read more

      The Main Market Square

      November 2, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      The Hauptmarkt is busy with workers getting ready for the Christmas market beginning in a week or so. Today there is the regular farmers’ market.
      Here in the Hauptmarkt is the Schooner Brunnen [Beautiful Fountain), Frauenkirche, and the old Rathaus [Town Hall].
      Today's Schonen Brunnen is a 1912 copy of the 14th century fountain. The remains of the original were transferred to the German National Museum in the early 20th century.      Read more

      Exploring Christmas Market

      December 24, 2023 in Germany ⋅ 🌬 9 °C

      We started exploring the Nuremberg Christmas market from 11 am. But the Market was open only till 2 pm. I guess the Shopkeepers too wanted to start preparing for their own Christmas with their family (a part which I actually like a lot about Germany: take your family as priority than others).
      Situated right at the heart of Hauptmarkt (main market), this Christkindlesmarkt (it's the name of Nuremberg's Christmas market) The vibe was amazing and we got to try various food which were awesome (we opted only for Vegetarian food, but it was still great). We tried Apple cider with Orange rum at a Glühwein shop, and it was the highlight of this Christmas market.
      We also got the famous Nürnberger Elisen Lebkuchen, which was delicious (a must try), and there were a good varieties of decorative and day-to-day usable articles. We purchased some for ourselves too.
      We also visited a Luck tower in this Christmas market, and people were standing in a queue just to climb the fence around it and turn two rotatable iron rings, which is supposed to bring good luck. We saw all kinds of antics people do to get good luck here, promoting the naughty, childish and festive moods of people. 😃      Read more

      Stadtrundgang und Besichtung Nürnberg

      March 12 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Heute besichtigen wir nun etwas die Sehenswürdigkeiten von Nürnberg. Gegründet 1050 ohne an einem grossen Fluss zu liegen entwickelte sich Nürnberg im Mittelalter dank viel Handel zu einer der wichtigsten Städte nördlich der Alpen. Aus dieser Zeit sind Teile der Burg und die imposante St. Leonards Kirche immer noch erhalten. Die Kirche kann 5000 Menschen unterbringen obschon zur Bauzeit nur etwa 2500 Einwohner in der Stadt waren. Traurige Berühmtheit erlangte die Stadt in der NS Zeit. Wir haben das grössenwahnsinnige Reichsparteitagsgelände und den Zeppelinbahnhof mit dem Bus besucht, aber machten dort keine Bilder, Vom Besuch der Burg und den ausgedehnten Spaziergängen durch die Stadt machten wir am Vortag und heute einige Bilder. Wir können nun auch die Aussage nachvollziehen, dass Nürnberg die grösste zusammenhänge Fussgängerzone einer deutschen Stadt habe. Obschon das Wetter noch etwas frisch ist, können wir uns gut vorstellen wie beruhigend und lauschig der Aufenthalt an den Plätzen direkt an der Pegnitz im Sommer wohl sein werden.Read more

      Nuremberg Day 1

      June 14, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      Today we left Regensburg and caught the train to Nuremberg, which thankfully was on time and a smooth journey. We walked 8 minutes from the enormous train station to our accommodation and struggled to get into our accommodation. We weren’t able to check in straight away so we left our bags in lockers and went out for Vietnamese for lunch to kill some time. The food was delicious and we devoured it. We then walked around the streets of the old town and it is just gorgeous.

      We went home for a rest and Tegan decided to do some reading and uni work while Steve went to find some breweries and walk around town.

      We ate yummy falafels for dinner and went for an evening stroll through town. It is a beautiful place and we are keen to do a walking tour to learn more about Nuremberg. In the Second World War this was the most bombed place in Germany.      Read more

      Nuremberg Day 2

      June 15, 2023 in Germany ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

      Today we enjoyed a sleep in and relaxing morning before meeting our tour guide for a 2 and a half hour tour around town. We saw churches, monuments, the castles and surrounding walls — the old town is completely surrounded by a moat which you can walk around. We plan on doing that while we’re here. We also learnt about the sad history of the nazi regime beginning and ending here with most of the old town being bombed and most of it being rebuilt, with just a few streets of original buildings.

      After the tour we sat in the market square and ate lunch before picking up our books and finding a cafe to read. We strolled along the streets until we arrived home and had some downtime before getting dinner and walking back to enjoy an early night of reading :)      Read more

      Nuremberg Day 3

      June 16, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      Today we went to Bamburg, a lovely little town 40 minutes away that has a brewery that do unique smoked beers. The train station here is huge, so we gave ourselves plenty of time to find the platform.

      Bamburg is a stunning little town with heaps of medieval architecture. Each place we’ve been has an old part of town which is unique and beautiful. The town hall in Bamburg is in the centre of a bridge with beautiful artwork on the outside. You’ll see in the photos above. We headed up to the castle area which was massive and cars were able to drive up there. The footpath and car path look very similar. We walked around the garden which was a mini maze. The scent of the garden was divine, the flowers were full of fragrances.

      We walked into the big church which was pretty cool as well and then headed to the brewery where Steve enjoyed some smokey beers. Tegan wandered around town and did some window shopping. The sky began to turn so we headed back to the train station and back to Nuremberg.

      Back in Nuremberg we had a dirty chai which is chai with a shot of coffee and it was delicious. We’ve never had anything like it. We came back home to relax a little and then went out for dinner at the Vietnamese restaurant again which was yummy. We strolled around town — it’s crazy it doesn’t get completely dark until 10pm. We are in for a rude awaking when we head back home.      Read more
