Exploring the Munich Christmas Markets - Travel Vlog | A Cold, Rainy Day @ Münchner Christkindlmarkt

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Have you ever been to European Christmas Markets??🎄If so, what's your favorite one?

[@denisenowik8501]

Been to about 20 German Christmas Markets. Collect all the mugs as well. Stollen is awesome with marzipan! As a 1st generation German (parents were German) I buy stollen and other Christmas treats up here in Canada every year. Love all the wooden crafts.

[@jessicamartinez5117]

Planning a trip for this year!! Vienna, Prague, Zurich, Cologne, Colmar, and a few others!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

@@jessicamartinez5117 Love it! We're thinking about making it an annual tradition for us! So maybe Salzburg and Vienna this year?? Or Cologne and Dresden?? Not sure yet! All we know is that we loved the Christmas markets and want to go back! Lol

[@michaelmarchesano4927]

We have been to many of the Christmas Markets in Europe. We are going to Vienna and Salzburg this year for the Christmas Markets it will be our first time there. Some of our favorite markets are Brussels, Cologne, Dresden. Stollen is amazing.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

@@michaelmarchesano4927 Ohh thank you for sharing! We are so excited to visit more of them!

[@deniselewis7584]

Thank you for sharing your Munich Christmas Market with us. I am so excited for I will be there is December 2023. You gave me tips and made me feel not quite as scared going there. I am sorry for the rainy day, hope I will have a nicer day.

[@TravelAdventureswithEricB]

I love seeing Das Rathaus again. It's so beautiful. I loved Munich. I can't wait to go back this Summer.I gotta get to the Christmas markets one day, so awesome.

[@doodsanddudes]

All of that looked delicious. Hot food is always a plus. Especially when it’s cold. We would love to do this one year.

[@ayushmanbhalla8737]

You two are my favourite travel vloggers. You two are such real, honest individuals, and I just enjoy watching your content because it makes me feel like I'm also on the road with you. Thank you for every trip 🙂

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Aww... That means more than you know! We really appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching and following along on the adventures!😊

[@loeyminske3459]

You guys were troopers!! How miserable that must have been but I can’t help but think that it might have been so much more crowded if the weather hasn’t been so awful! ❤️

[@kaylahuntington7059]

Fun!!!

[@David-jo4gt]

Y'all are tough!! I would have turned into a Grinch and found some place warm and dry. Thank you for your hard work and thanks for bring us along.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Bahaha 🤣🤣 there were moments we didn’t feel tough!! Haha complaining to a camera definitely helped. 😜 Lol if our hotel was closer we would’ve gone back to get warm but it was too far away. 🙄😭🤣 Haha lesson learned… you don’t need 10 hours at a Christmas Market when it’s rainy & cold 🥶 🤣☔️

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi everyone good morning happy Tuesday morning and happy new year to all of you guys and I hope that 2023 brings you a lot of love and happiness I enjoy your channel because you all amazing

[@georgecurry6108]

The food looked awesome. I love sausage! I am with Nat I don't like wine. To bad the weather was awful but it looked really beautiful especially at night. Hopefully we can go sometime the flights are the killer for me. Thanks for sharing

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

The food was for sure a highlight! I'm hungry after re-watching it! Lol... Doesn't get much better than German Sausage! Yea, the weather wasn't ideal, but we tried to make the most of it.We hope y'all get to experience the German Christmas Markets someday too! There's nothing like it! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@tammywillis5619]

OMG!! That clock was absolutely beautiful!! Awesome trip, thank you for sharing with all of us!! I wanna go now🎄🎄🎄

[@aaronlucier]

Planning to the do the markets this fall starting in Cologne

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Nice! We really enjoyed the Cologne markets! We're hosting a group trip the Berlin, Dresden, Karlovy Vary, and Prague this Christmas! It should be a great time! Safe travels! Thanks for watching!

[@FreckledHeart]

[@rvcruising]

You guys are such troopers and made it look fun regardless of how it felt! Made me hungry too! Bravo!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Aw, thanks y'all!! We were determined to have a good time... Although the day did get the best of us a couple of times! Lol... We appreciate y'all watching! And yes... The food was SO GOOD!!!

[@angelac2052]

Yay!! I can’t wait to get to Munich during Christmas. Food looks yummy 😋

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Thanks so much for watching! 🥰 Yes!!! Definitely worth visiting during Christmas… even with the rain & cold it was magical! 🎄👌🏼

[@michelle_kahn]

Such a pity that your folks didn't try make you maintain your German🥹 it's so nice knowing multiple languages. I'm from South Africa and all I know is English😂 now in Europe and meet people who know 4/5 languages and it's wild! Nice video guys 😊

[@gkstanfield]

Christmas Goals…y’all honestly made it look way more fun than the low temps and ice allowed…plus the hot food and glühwein warmed my spirits…Merry Christmas and Happy 2023!

[@Alice-hh2gn]

Hi guys, I just want to say that I am a huge fan of your videos and it’s really interesting to see your reactions to a typical German Christmas market. I am from Germany and currently living in Trier (next to Luxemburg). The rain really describes what you need to know about German winter weather (it doesn’t get better until march). When you are looking for another Christmas experience for this year, I really recommend the “Trierer Weihnachtsmarkt” because it is located in one of the oldest German Cities, which was captivated by the Romans many many years ago and is considered one of the prettiest Christmas places in Europe. You can also include other tourist attractions (like the oldest German bridge, the “Porta Nigra”(an old Gateway to the City built by the Romans,…)) to your trip or visit the Christmas market in Luxemburg, which is only a one-hour-drive destination. Just check it out. It is really worth it!!! By the way I am a psychology student and I am going to the US for a couple of months this August to study abroad. Your videos really helped to decide which places I definitely have to visit during my stay in Minnesota. Thanks a lot for that!! Kind regards from Germany, Alice

[@goldenagetraveling9111]

Man I am so jealous right now., lol. All the Brot, schnitzel, currywurst, Glühwein, etc. Bummer it was such a rainy and cold day, but thank you so much for sharing. Brought back some great memories from our trip to Munich a few years ago. Looking forward to your next video!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Awww guys are the sweetest!! ❤ Yeah it wasn't the best experience with the rain/sleet! haha but the food was great & those lights & market was beyond magical!! Thanks for being on the adventure with us!

[@frequentswaflyer6562]

I just returned from München a week ago and watching your video brought back all those feelings I had there! It rained my whole trip too, however it wasn’t super cold. Great job making the most of it!!

[@marcobranco526]

Awww thanks so much friend! 🥰 The food was amazing!! Hahaha it was SOOOO cold! 🥶🤣 We were dying a little. Lol but even with the cold it was magical! 🎄👌🏼 Your words absolutely mean the most to us. Thank you tons 🥰💗

[@gwenbehan6124]

My German grandmother would make us Stollen every year for Christmas. I buy it now - it’s a tradition, and wouldn’t be the holiday without it 🎄

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Awww love that so much!! 🥰

[@EmmaJonYoureWelcome]

The clock show was super cool. What miserable weather but at least its a good excuse to eat and drink all the things. The medieval market looked cool. xx

[@azlobster79]

The food! It’s all about the food. Everything looked so amazing. The clock was so Germany - loved it. Nat, you’re the BEST free translator in the world. Matt, you can’t keep your 5 euro deposit….. it has to go to the First Bank of Spouse 😂 You two are so funny….thanks for bringing us to Germany before you die ❤

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Right??? I could use one of those half meter sausages right now! Lol... And yes, the clock (Rathaus-Glockenspiel) is SO German! Lol... Nat is for sure the best free translator! Although "free" might be a bit misleading since, as you saw, she gets to keep all of the deposit money! 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching! 😊

[@azlobster79]

@@AdventuresofMattandNat gotta admit I was very jealous of the giant sausage lol. You guys are a hoot. Thanks for the humor along the way. 🤗

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

@@azlobster79 bahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AlusW.]

Love you two! I felt for you in that cold, rainy weather as it's the same here in So Cal while I'm watching your video. Glad you had some good eats & drinks! Looked yummy! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. 🤗❤️❤️

[@debschmitt761]

The German markets look so charming! And oh the food looked so yummy

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

They really are! And yes, the food is incredible! We miss it already! Lol... Thanks for watching! 😊

[@nikkioperas]

You two are so cute!!♥️

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Aw, thank you!🥰

[@karendykstra]

Looked like a great time despite the weather. We lived in Germany from 90-92 and I got to go to the Nuremberg Market. Loved the whole vibe, including the Nuremberger brats😋. I still have my Nuremberg Angel tree topper which looks as beautiful today as it did 30 years ago.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Yea, the weather didn't want to cooperate, and it got the best of us a few times, but we were determined to have a good time! Lol... Aw, that is so awesome! Our next video is actually from our visit to the Nuremberg Market on this same trip! The Munich Markets were nice, but the Nuremberg Market truly is magical! Plus the weather was much better! Lol... We can't wait to share the video! That's so awesome that you got to experience it! Thanks for watching!😊

[@rosierose846]

Love your Germany videos! I'm planning a trip in December and I'm trying to figure out how many days to stay in each location. I read your blog and read you guys did a day trip to Nuremberg. Did you guys stayed in Munich, and Cologne?

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Hi @rosierose846! Thanks so much for watching! Glad you're enjoying the videos! And thanks for checking out the blog! As far as how many days to spend in each place, that just depends on what you're wanting to do. If you're mostly going for the Christmas markets, I'd say a day or two in each city would suffice. And yes, for our Nuremburg day trip, we were staying in Munich. And when we were in Cologne, we took an evening trip to Dusseldorf. Hope that helps! For our Munich trip, we were there for 3 days with a day/afternoon trip to Nuremburg, and for our Cologne trip we were there for 3 days with a day/afternoon trip to Dusseldorf. Hope that helps! -Matt

🇵🇱I am happy with video vlogs like this, providing information on beautiful and interesting tourist attractions that can spoil the eye in every corner. waiting for another vlog.

[@ShowMeAnAdventure]

Dang if y’all don’t have some bad luck when it comes to weather!! 😅 Sending ALL the good weather vibes your way for your 2023 travels!! 🥳🎆 But I appreciate that you’re such troopers to take us along, rain or shine. The hashbrown-but-better with sour cream… 🤤 These markets are just the cutest!! Bahaha-finally the dumb American thing pays off. 😂🤣😅 Beautiful city. 💕✨

[@lbmitchell1777]

Great video with all that weather, we had heard that after COVID, many of the stalls for the German craftsman had been replaced by Chinese products. Please tell us that is not true? Thanks, we would like to go back. Went in 2016 and miss it.

[@dianejohanson98]

Been there, done that! Cold and wet! 2007 Gluivine is si good and warming!

[@melissafuentes2724]

How beautiful!! Omg now I want to go to Germany! Hope you guys go to Paris or London soon! I’ve been researching to plan a Europe trip soon

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

You definitely should! It's a beautiful country! We have loose plans for some more European travels this year that just might include Paris and London😉 We LOVE both of those cities! We did 3 weeks in Europe in the fall of 2019 before we were vlogging, so we're excited to revisit some of the cities and actually film them this time! Thanks so much for watching!😊

[@kellijomatthewsbeachbum]

Are you two on a cruise? Maybe I missed that part of how you’re traveling to these cities?

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

@@kellijomatthewsbeachbum We flew into Germany for these Christmas markets. The new videos (Naples, Italy etc) we were on a 7 day Mediterranean cruise for those!

Germany ❤❤❤

[@GenXJohn70]

We were there. It was completely freezing and snow in Munich, then turned to rain when we got to Nuremberg… and then almost t-shirt weather in Berlin… I’m surprised they had any gluewein cups left because my wife kept them all… 🤷‍♂️

[@sejabop]

HOW AM I JUST FINDING YOU NOW?? JOINING YOUR PATREON STAT!!!!

[@TravelAdventureswithEricB]

I just finished the whole video,I would love to go in December for the experience, but the weather seemed miserable.I gotta do the Christmas markets once,but I'll stick to less cold months going to Germany.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Haha… Yea the weather in December can be a little miserable, but you HAVE to visit the Christmas markets! And the only time to do that is in December (or late November)! I will say, it’s not usually that cold… We happened to visit during the coldest week of the year from what the locals told us!🤣🤣 But the cold wasn’t the bad part, it was the rain! Thankfully we had beautiful weather (still cold but beautiful) for our time in Nuremberg which redeemed the entire trip! That video will be out soon! Thanks so much for watching!😊

[@TravelAdventureswithEricB]

@@AdventuresofMattandNat Cold and Rain is really bad mix

[@Kakibot]

So excited to see you in Europe! If you're ever in Edinburgh, hit me upppp! (My personal favourite when it comes to Christmas is Denmark, especially their amazing glogg fortified with rum in Tivoli gardens x) )

[@bartel-shop]

brilliant 🧑🤲

Thank you!!🥰🥰

[@lindsayslaughter8234]

The architecture is amazing to look at in Europe. Too bad it rained for you guys.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

It really is! Yea, the rain wasn't ideal, but we did our best to make the most of it! On the bright side, at least the crowds were smaller due to the bad weather! Lol... Thanks for watching!😊

[@tommyedodson2412]

Love the Christmas Markets in Germany (and Austria). Munich's are wonderful and with the freezing rain you have the place almost to your own. FYI, a tour of the Residenz is fantastic. Our favorite was the small market in Altötting (about an hour half by train southeast of Munich).

Hot tip - Augustiner Bauhaus

[@BegümKöseoğlu-s9z]

I hope you see my comment. I will go to the Christmas market once and I have something to ask you, which Christmas market do you recommend, Munich or Nuremberg? :)

[@huntervoket7166]

I'm sorry the weather was so bad when you both were out here. Nice that you both were able to get your hands on lots of hot food. I'm curious to know from Nat's perspective if being here brought her back to her childhood like she was hoping for? Hopefully if you both ever get to make back out there again the weather will be better and it won't be cold and rainy next time. God Bless.

Omg you missed out on the Stollen it's AMAZING

Is Munich worth going to see at Christmas? I’m really worried about the cold 🥶

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Absolutely! And if you're in Munich, plan to take the 1 hour train ride north to spend an evening at the Nuremberg Christmas Market as well! As long as you have appropriate winter clothing, the cold won't be a problem at all. Plus, there's plenty of Glühwein to keep you warm! 😂

The food looks great ❤ but I tour of the actual markets would have been better! And the products they sell! Possibly a chat with a few of the stall holders! I mean I lost count of how many ways I watched you guys sip a mug and eat a sausage! Your in amazing places but your not actually filling these videos with content FROM those places! I find you both relatable and good to watch ! But I don’t want to watch your faces talking and eating 😅😊

Please stop complaining about the rain every video. You guys went to Germany in the Winter, what do you expect? Try to be more positive, and not negative all the time!
