GERMAN CHRISTMAS MARKET & STREET FOOD in Nuremberg!

Welcome to Nuremberg #Germany, our 29th country on our round the world trip! We finally made it to Bavaria where we experienced our first German Christmas Market and German Street Food!
This entire series was inspired by a single Instagram photo that Ashley saved years ago. The Nuremberg Christmas Market sparked a plan that will take us all over Bavaria as we get to know what Germany has to offer at Christmastime. Spoiler… a LOT!
After showing you around Nuremberg’s Old Town a bit, we head straight to the best GERMAN CHRISTMAS MARKET for gluhwein and DELICIOUS GERMAN STREET FOOD. This Christmas Market truly has everything you’d want. We ate some of the famous Nürnberger brats and even some flaming mulled wine! Plus, we found the secret sauce for the Kartoffelpuffer, or German potato pancakes - garlic sour cream! YUM!
We hope you enjoyed our Nurnberg video and cannot wait to come back to explore more of Germany one day. As always, we’ll see you in our next video as we Keep Going Places!

Nurnberger bratwurst are the Bestest

[@monkeibusiness]

16:45 I just love it when simple dreams come true. It's nice. Sometimes the simplest things can make one happy and I enjoy that a lot.

[@jameshitchens9045]

I was in Nurnberg for 3.5 years 1988-1991 while in The U.S. Army. Loved it so much i got a German fishing license to get out in nature.

[@TravelCubed]

Definitely, the Christmas market in Nuremberg is the best one!

[@raymondvaca3420]

I took my wife to see where i was stationed in Ansbach in December 2019 then specifically for Nuremberg Xmas market. It is truly a fairy tale xmas surrounded by the walls of the old town. We had also visited markets in Frankfurt and Berlin. By far this is the best. This view was also shared by a young California couple whom had just visited Berlin market and wanted to spend more time in Nuremberg after realizing how beautiful the experience was. P.S. in 2001 we visited the Trier, Germany xmas market, while small, it had rows of vendors, roasted chest nuts in air, giant soft snow flakes, and coke trucks with Santa on side.

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

That sounds so lovely!

[@anm_15]

Imagine how this Christmas market looks at night..... with snow and lights...🤩🤩🤩

[@ramonaoneil3135]

I used to live in Nürnberg, you want to avoid the Christkindlmarkt after dark, it is SUPER CROWDED. It takes forever just to get from one end of each aisle of stands to the other end. Go throughout the daytime when it’s less crowded. Check opening hours online. The church at Hauptmarkt where all the stands are (Frauenkirche/Our lady’s church) starts the Männleinlaufen at noon, it’s when the figures of the mechanical clock start moving. Also, compared to other Christmas market throughout Germany the Christkindlmarkt in Nürnberg isnt even all that great. Almost every town and city in Germany hosts their own Christmas market and they can hold their own as well. Often they have more rides as well. If you opt to get a hot beverage from a stand they impose an extra fee for the mug. Most ppl keep the mug as a souvenir. The mug states the year and city of the Christmas market it was from. Ppl love to collect them.

Oh how I've been waiting for this series. Bavaria, my favorite place ever. Nothing better than the food at the Christmas markets and I could almost taste those brats. So good to see the crowds were not overwhelming (we were there on the first weekend opened and the throngs of people made it impossible to get near most of the stalls). Just makes me want to go back. Great video.

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

Agreed, Tommye! We loved Bavaria Germany. Buckle in because there’s 4 more videos coming from our Bavarian road trip! Some Christmas Markets were busy, but this one was less busy, which was nice. The crowds really have a big impact on the experience so it’s always exciting when you find a market that’s just the right level of busy. Glad you enjoyed this video! -Jordan

[@IvorsTravels]

Just discovered your channel. After more than 20 years of visiting Christmas markets until the advent of Covid I was delighted and more than a little sad to see you enjoying yourselves in Nurnberg. Until last week I was scheduled to travel to these wonderful places once more. The upsurge in Covid infections and the subsequent cancellation of the markets, including Nurnberg, put paid to that. Fortunately there are videos like your own to console me. I will check out you channel further and see how your trip progressed. Thanks.

[@s.w.2196]

Hey Dear, i'm from Nueremberg. I was so sad to see that you visit us in the time the castle was getting a renovation. I can tell ya we finished it. Hope you come back someday to see the hole beauty. I have to say your documentary about the christmas market is the best one from tourists i have seen.

[@superskunker7997]

The secret of the Christkindl Markt fo me is having a hot Glühwein there in a snowy evening. Best time for Christkindl Markt is when it get´s dark.

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

Absolutely! All the lights are the most beautiful at night and a hot glühwein is the perfect addition. ☺️

[@DA-db9bi]

I really like how you’re so quiet and not loud.

[@doke889]

I’ve been to the Nuremberg Christmas Market twice in the last three years, including last year. It’s my favorite of all of the markets. And the kartoffelpuffers at that same stand are my favorite food in the world. And I’m not even joking. I eat them about 10 times in the three days I’m there. And the last time I almost cried because I knew it was over. As for the Feuerzangenbowle,, the one with the flame is a few stalls up the road from the kartoffelpuffer stand. You can’t miss it. There’s always hundreds of people around it, and there’s a giant flame.

[@sylviamcauley8454]

My aunt and uncle used to own one of the top restaurants in nuremberg. It was in the cellar of the oldest tower still standing right in the centre of town. It was fabulous, they've retired now

The Christmas market is comming up soon but now that I watched this I will go buy some brautwurst for sure. That looks so goooood

Finally got to watch the video :)! That Christmas market looks amazing, and so did the potato cakes at the end. I'm more savory so I would have gone with the garlic sour cream YUM! My husband would have def went with the apple sauce haha. All the drinks and everything just looked so yummy!

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

It was all DELISH! That garlic sour cream might have converted me from apple sauce though lol. Thank you so much for watching! We’ve been catching up on some of y’all’s vids, too! Your drone/b-roll shots are always beautiful!

[@JayAyers]

1:30 I went to this exact spot last year. If I remember correctly, the castle is on the other side of the bridge (that walk up is very steep). Nuremberg was definitely a highlight for my German trip. It's so beautiful there. I want to visit the Xmas market this year.

[@delchen9702]

I have never been to any Xmas markets in Europe and these videos seem to really capture the hustle/bustle of it all. That one in Prague where it seemed like there were a million people, I'm with you both, a little overwhelming. Lastly - kudos to you both, no need to explain sh** to any of us on whether you're eating a bratwurst or a bowl of carrots and why. LOL. There's no judgment anywhere from this subscriber. I really hope your channel blows up with subscribers even more. I would be so happy for you both.

One condition for nürnberger sausages you forgot to tell is, that it has a geographical rule. It can only be produced in Nürnberg or the villages around, that belong to the city.

I so much enjoyed this video guys. My very first memory of Nuremberg was when my dad took me to my very first Christmas market . We lived in Giessen, Germany because my Dad was in the US Army at the time. When I was stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany (As I served in the US Army) I would visit Nuremberg often The last time I was in Nuremberg was in June of 2019 when my wife and I and three other couples visited beautiful Nuremberg. I am planning on taking my wife and kids to the Christmas market in Dec 2021 (hopefully). :). Great jobs guys. BTW, the food was killing me, I so can't wait to get back. As soon as the EU opens I am on the next plane out lol.

Feuerzangenbowle is a party drink and normally celebrated together at home. You have one big pot with wine, a huge sugar cone on a metal over it, you pour some liquor on the sugar and light it. Therefore it is not realy possible at a market. Older Germans reminds it always to the famous film "Die Feuerzangenbowle" with Heinz Rühmann where 4 old guys sit around a Feuerzangenbowle and share some stories about school days. The film is still watched by students, for example every summer there is a public movie screening in the university town of Tuebingen.
