Exploring the Nuremberg Christmas Market - Travel Vlog | Is it the best Christmas Market in Europe??

After a cold and rainy day at the Munich Christmas Markets, we decided to catch a train 100 miles (160 km) north to the city of Nuremberg (Nürnberg) to get a little Christmas market redemption at the Nuremberg Christmas Market (Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt) which is arguably the most famous (with around 2 million visitors each year) and some would even say the best Christmas market in all of Europe! After experiencing it firsthand, we can see why this market ranks near the top of pretty much every traveler's must-visit Christmas market list. The second that you arrive at the Hauptmarkt – the central square where the market takes place – the smell of warm Glühwein (mulled wine), fresh Lebkuchen (gingerbread), and Nürnberg Rostbratwurst (grilled sausage) take over your senses. The red and white candy-cane-like rooftops on the 180+ neatly aligned festive stalls look to be straight out of a European Hallmark movie, and the twin, 50-feet (15-meter) high Christmas trees on either side of The Frauenkirche ("Church of Our Lady") are the final touches that make the Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt pure Christmas magic.

== About Us ==
We’re Matt & Nat, a part-time, non-remote travel couple based out of Nashville, TN.

We launched in 2021 by visiting all 50 US states & documented our entire journey on our Blog & here on YouTube! After spending a full year focused on such a defined goal, 2022 left us feeling a little lost & wondering "What's next?". We continued traveling & creating vlogs but always with the "What's next?" question lingering. During one of our trips, we came across the book “1,000 Places to See Before You Die” & were immediately drawn in by it & knew that it had to be a part of our adventures. So, in January 2023 we officially launched our “1,000 Places To See Before You Die” series where we’ve set out to see as many of the “1,000 Places To See Before You Die”… before we die!

We hope you’ll join us on the adventure & find some adventures of your own along the way! And remember... It’s better to see something once (even if only for a moment) than to hear about it a thousand times.

We loved Nuremberg Christmas market!! So much fun!!

[ShowMeAnAdventure]

The drinking and eating out of real dishes instead of take-away disposables and charging a deposit is so awesome! I wish we did that in the states at our festivals! Nat and her giant pretzel lol 😆 I love it. These markets look like so much fun to visit! 🎉

[delfinreyes]

We will be there this year also visiting Rothenburg ob der Tauber and lucky we booked a Hotel right around the corner from the market

Great video this brought back a lot of memories from when I lived in Germany. I’ve been to the Nuremberg Christmas Market many times from when my dad was stationed in the Army.

[kaylahuntington]

I love that you can keep the mugs if you want! That's a special souvenir if do say so!

[David-jogt]

So glad y'all had a good time at this one and I enjoyed watching after Christmas. Good eating and safe travels.

The Schmidt-Lebkuchen cookie company is located in Nuremburg and that’s where the lebkeuken has been made for over 90 years. I have several beautiful tins that contained the cookies from when we were stationed in Germany. I also have my beautiful Angel Topper that I bought in that market over 30 years ago.

[rvcruising]

Awesome video. Making me hungry again! 😂. Next time, also try a Germknoedel! Yum!

[leeoverfelt]

That was fun. Thanks Matt and Nat. When I saw that giant pretzel coming out of the machine, I said wow got to head back to the mustard dispenser.
