Well we spent our last full day visiting the last Christmas Market of the trip. This time it was to the very very nearby town of Fürth, which borders with Nuremberg. We walked around the neat market which was also Medieval Themed, like the one in Esslingen some days ago. Back in Nuremberg there was … More Fürth’n’Art

Well sadly, the trip is nearing it’s end, and due to our flight plans, we have to be back in Nuremberg, but at least it’s one of my favorite cities. And naturally, as it was a day in Germany, our train into NB was cancelled, so we had to take another nearly an hour later. … More Back To The ‘Berg

Another day trip to the Rhine riverside town of Koblenz, which almost tops off just about the last possible town on the Rhine River town that I could possibly visit, or go through. We took a train to the town of Koblenz, and simply walked the pleasant streets. No museums or palaces or anything fancy … More All Along The Rhine

A nice trip to the Rhine Riverside town of Mainz (pronounced Minez) was our actvity of the day, a short distance just outside of Frankfurt. We didn’t do much aside from stroll the town and visit the Christmas Markets, and it’s main square is a very large and nice one. We visited the interesting Gutenberg … More Mainlining in Mainz

It was a short couple days, but we left Stuttgart for the big urban city of Frankfurt am Main, a major metropolis of European commerce and banking. The ‘Main’ (pronounced Mine) is the name of the river the city sits on. Of course there was a train delay. This time in the station of Mannheim, … More Stepping Away From Stuttgart

How’s that for a click-bait title? But actually it was really great. The day started off with my mom and I heading east in Stuttgart to the world famous automaker Mercedes-Benz Museum. It started in the late 1800’s, with Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler who each had their own motor companies, and then merged in … More The Best Christmas Market Ever!

A new day, a new city! Today we left Munich, and went to the large city of Stuttgart! Like other days, we didn’t do much aside from walk around the Christmas Market, and it seems to have probably one of the most expansive and sprawling markets we’ve been to. It’s huuugeee, and stretches down several … More Motor City, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

No clever title. Mostly an easy relaxing day to break up the train distance between here and our next stop. Walked around town. Went to Marienplatz, the main central square. Dined at HardRock Cafe Munich, because why not!? Went to the Christmas market in the Munich Residenz, an extremely ornate and fancy home of the … More Munich

A cold and snowy day. Nice and early in the morning, we got up and took a train to a lovely city situated in a valley in the Alps. The city is stunning, and is far more beautiful than we even realized. (Schnee is the German word for ‘snow’.) The day started with a walk … More Schnee Day
