we weren’t expecting the Christmas Market here to be so packed, but we also chose opening night to attend. word of advice: don’t attend Christmas Market at Nuremberg on opening night. we tried real hard to enjoy it, but the crowd was really hard to tolerate. maybe if we visited a few weeks later, it would have been more enjoyable. we partook in more gluhwein and the nuremberg bratwurst. we went hard on the sausage (lol) in Dresden that by the second day in Nuremberg, I was kind of wanting something else. we had Ramen in Dresden but that didn’t cut it for me. we did, however have some spicy crispy chicken sandwiches for dinner on our second night here. pretty decent.

we had one full day to explore Nuremberg so we walked where Nuremberg’s city walls would take us. we ended up in the Red Light District. another word of advice: please don’t photograph the women without their permission. did you know prostitution is legal and regulated in Germany? I never really thought of that until we got here. we kept walking until we ended atop a hill where the Nuremberg Castle sits and then unexpectedly walked by the Executioner’s House.
