For ages now I always wanted to visit another country and see their Christmas markets, so now finally I got to do this. My friend Aimee and I went to Nuremberg in Germany for the weekend, we decided to go by train which is around 5 hours, a bit too long for only two days we decided. We arrived just before 3pm and found our hotel which was very nice and near the centre and went straight out. On our way to the market we passed the castle is quite majestic and lovely views of the city!
It became dark quite soon and it was also very windy, but we were warmly dressed up. This is the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, which treated lepers apparently in the middles ages.
There are many churches in Nuremberg to visit, we did not have much time to go inside so we admired them from outside.
This lovely square is where the house of Albrecht Dürer is situated, a native of Nuremberg he was a painter, printmaker, engraver amongst other things. Sadly the photos of his house was taken at night and does not look good.
The night before we had a few glasses of prosecco in this very small but cute bar, and they only costed 3 euro!
We had a lovely but short time away, it would have been nice to have visited a few of the places we saw, the next time we go for longer.

I am convinced that Germany is where it's at with regards to Christmas markets, how was the one in Nuremberg?
