Best Things to Do in Nuremberg Germany at Christmas 🇩🇪 / Nishi V

Good morning from Nuremberg, Germany. J and I are spending a week in Germany. This is the longest time period we've ever spent in Europe. I think we landed in Nuremberg this morning. And we're actually traveling for the first third of this trip with our friend Priya. And we've come out straight for lunch. It's kind of breakfast for us because we were up on 3:00 a.m. But it is 11:00 a.m. local time. So, we dropped our luggage off at the hotel and we've come straight out for lunch at a place called Casper Schwazer, a vegan and vegetarian eatery in Nuremberg um old town. We're basically doing like a little mini tour of the Bavarian Christmas markets, which is so exciting because I've literally never been to Christmas markets abroad before. From our short walk from the hotel to here, I'm already impressed. They're not even all open. It's just so festive. It's not that cold, which is great. But it's just so festive and beautiful here. And I don't think I've ever seen anything like this in London already. It's so cute. It's incredible. I'm going to show you our food when it arrives and I'll show you what we get up to. We're only here for two nights before we move on somewhere else. Tie bowl. That's him. Thank you. That's a lot of You weren't kidding. >> Thank you very much. >> Oh, that's you. >> I can share the cheesecake. >> Oh, today you want to share. Thank you. >> Thank you to >> This is Priya and she has just said something monumental that today we can share the cheesecake. >> Yeah. >> Pria doesn't share dessert. Like in the same way that Joey doesn't share food lied before. It does look really good. There we go. And we we've somehow both ordered the same kebab bowl which looks really good. Massive quite Ukraine Montenegro shot land. >> I'm not going to lie, I love having a tour guide. Normally I am the tour guide, but Priya is navigating us. It's very busy. I feel like I'm missing something. >> Somebody me >> Vicea. What? >> Say that again, please. >> I'm probably saying it all wrong. >> Pria is practicing. >> Vicea. >> Okay, this is where we are. >> Tour guide Priya is trying not to butcher the German. Um, you're doing a better job than I would have been trying to read it. I swear to God, every time I get anywhere in the world where I'm at like looking at a colorful pretty street, there's always scaffolding up that ruins it or road works or something. Love a timbered house. So, this street isn't very long. Um, but it is very pretty to walk down. I love the timbered houses um that are sort of in the middle. There's a lot of scaffolding up which like I said before ruins it. And these two are really funny. Pria does this thing called a Pria 360 and she's filming J standing on the spot. She's just filmed me as well. >> I'm giving them the behind the scenes of the Pria 360. I've never actually seen this on social after like I'm at different angles like you there and then I'll switch it up to him like maybe there. >> Okay. Well, I'll start with him and change to my bits just going to be that. >> I'm not. So this is a fountain called Shona Brunan and it is in the main market near the Nenburgg uh Christmas market. There's a gold ring that's embedded in the iron and you can see on the left there because loads of people keep climbing it. And apparently if you spin that ring, it's said to bring good luck to those who spin it. So at first I was trying to figure out why people are climbing up this thing trying to get in. But can you see the lady in the um cream hat? Yeah, she's just done it. So there we go. This is what it is. >> There's Jass climbing up here. >> There's a ring that he is. >> It's not that high. Yeah. There. >> There we go. Okay. We're about to go into the frown kirker, which is the church of >> Is it Are you sure it's pronounced frowner? >> Oh, right. Okay. I was saying frown. I was saying frowners. >> Fra. Sorry. Kush. >> Kers. Okay. P's German's a lot better than mine. >> Apparently, if you time it right, you can watch like a free organ concert. Yeah. >> I lost where it landed. Just leaving our hotel room. We came back to check in cuz it was 2:30 p.m. and we were just resting for a bit because all of our Why's our door not closing? It's very slow. Um, >> we're going to go and see Pa's room and uh left two on three because she's made a dinner reservation and we thought because we've all been up since before 3:00 a.m. we thought we'd book dinner for 5:00 p.m. because we'd be hungry and tired. Oh, she's a corner room. I think she's got a much nicer room than us. Actually, as to be on the same floor and they said no, there's no more rooms available. But she's got two windows. So, that's literally the train station right next door to our hotel. Hello. Oh my god, >> that's much bigger than ours. >> Ours is so tiny. >> Oh, thanks. >> Can you open the window? But they can see me. Close the window. >> Oh, do you mind me filming inside your room? Do you have anything that I can't show on camera? >> Yours is about a big room, isn't it? >> Wow. >> Okay. Ours is really crappy. >> Oh, that jumper. I didn't bring mine. >> We have the same jumper. Oh, I love your dress. It's very clueless. This is so cool. >> You want to live here or you want to? >> Um, yeah, I'll put it in my >> So, yeah, this is Priya's room and it is way bigger than ours. The bed's the same size and they're both doubles. I like the little fire thing. It's really cozy. >> Yeah, >> it's really cool. We got on the train for literally 10 minutes and all of a sudden it is so dark. We're going to this restaurant called Bodhi. Pria booked a table here for tonight because it's closed for the rest of our trip, i.e. Mondays and Tuesdays. So, it looks nice, doesn't it? >> Why the is looking quite fancy? >> Should be fine. >> Very grand. It's a really nice place, >> isn't it? >> And we have Priya third wheeling us right on the end. It's really funny. The whole place is quite empty, but we got a table for two with a third person on the end. >> I think they might be upstairs cuz people keep upstairs, but >> it's like almost every other table here is empty. They could have just put two together. It's really not. >> It's so weird. >> The menu here is so good. It's like we want everything, but we're just going to get three main dishes to share. Um, everything is vegan, which makes life so much easier. So, Jazz is getting the schnitle, Pria's getting the tempe, and I'm getting the pand. >> Our food looks so good. This is I can't remember. >> Sorry, Monday. No, it's fine. I don't remember the name of my dish. Yours is the tempe rard. Jas is is the schnitzel, but they ran out of the potato salad, so they've replaced it with chips or fries. What's this called? Pandal. I don't know. Ready to swap, guys. This is how we're trying all the dishes. We're literally eating a third each and then we're swapping like clockwise. It's so funny. Thank you. So, now I'm trying the tempe rouard. That's the final like that one. >> Yeah, it's the final one. So, I started off with that one. >> I end up with more >> when I had that one and now I've got this one. >> That's right. >> You know how Pria doesn't share dessert. >> Pria doesn't share dessert. And to be fair, >> I'm sorry. I'll edit. >> I was thinking that myself. >> This um looked a lot smaller. When you Google the menu, um, the image that comes up didn't look this big. >> It literally Yeah, it's huge. It does look like a boob. >> A boob swimming in custard. >> Oh my god. >> So lovely. >> It does smell nice. >> Dinner was really good. And now we've arrived at the advent calendar house. I've kind of forgotten what the significance of this is, but it is so beautiful around here. And everything smells of red wine because obviously glue wine is mold wine. It's very very festive. But this is actually not the market. This is where we're on our way to the market. But we just stopped and saw this. And this these guys are walking behind me, so not in shot. But the Alrea House is also a museum. Um, this is kind of on my list, but it said it might be closed at this time of year. I don't know if it's open, but we might not go there today. Might save it for tomorrow. Good morning. We've had a very nice and relaxing start morning. 10 hours of sleep, which is absolutely glorious needed after 18,000 steps yesterday. We've just come out for a very late breakfast. I'm going to show you because this is massive. They gave me three eggs to replace the ham that was meant to be in this croissant sandwich. I can't eat three eggs. Jess is going to have to have some. I'm going to flip the camera around and show you. >> That's quite nice, actually. >> So, here's my breakfast. This is huge. Jas's basically got the same thing but with ham. And Priya got an ube latte cuz she's already had cheesecake this morning for breakfast. I also love that we're in a um like this restaurant bar restaurant called Wonder Bar, which has basically made my life. But here we go. Today is such a nice day. It's like not too cold actually and it's dry most importantly. But we keep walking past this handwork of off Nerburgg which is like a little medieval village. It's really cute in there. We kind of our hotel's on the other side. So to get into the old town which is where we are now. We have to keep walking back back and forth through it. And here is the design museum which I don't think we're going to go into. Doesn't really look as much in there. It's quite sparse. But I don't know if we can go into this cuz you know the um there's a tower on the other side for views. But so we've just walked all the way down there, come back up through here up to this second floor bridge. That's the train station which is so cool. And this is the opera house which we were trying to photograph. And we'd read that if you go, so I'm trying not to make you dizzy, into this restaurant, which we tried to do thinking it was a bar. And they're like, "Yeah, you need a table, um, you can walk in through there and out to photograph it." But they don't seem to have a garden area. So, this is the best that we can do. They weren't kidding when they said that Yakob's Market is really small. It looks really pretty, but the lighting is obviously not right. Um, but it is very, very tiny. So, here we are. There's a ferris wheel here which looks really beautiful and I love I actually really prefer the huts here. They're a lot more decorated but they also look very much more traditional I think. Really cute. Um funnily enough we ended up walking from way over there and Priya thought it was a really pretty street and I said, "Oh, this looks a bit like a brothel." And we looked in the window and yeah, all of the windows in the street basically had women in their underwear. It was like the red light district of Nerburgg. It was so funny. But anyway, here we are. Plan for day two is clearly to get drunk. Priya has a glue wine with vodka and apple. I have rosé glue wine. And Jas has eggnog, which honestly, quite frankly, tastes vile. Like, it's so strong. It tastes of chemicals. I don't know how anybody could drink that. >> There's no wine in it. >> Oh, there's no wine. >> You don't like wine? >> Okay. Yours tastes I don't like vodka. I don't really like wine either. I can do hot mold wine. But yeah, Prius is the nicest. But it's very festive here. >> We're back at this viewpoint. But today we're going to stop for a drink. Just somewhere to sit down cuz we walk around all day. Pria got a dessert. Surprise, surprise. What is it called? >> Streusel cooking. >> Strusil Cen. Streusil cake. Cooking's cake. >> Cooking cake. >> Cooking's cake. Yeah. And I think we're going to get the hot cranberry mule. just got a German beer, but he's not very happy with >> the head. >> The head of it. >> They give good head. >> They give good head apparently in Germany. So, I wouldn't know. Pria. I might have showed you this view yesterday, but I can't remember. Um, but here we are. It's a lot nicer this evening because I think it's not fully dark yet. And actually, that bit's lit up. There's a stage there. And yesterday we walked past it in the evening. There was a performance, but we just missed it. And today there's one starting at 7:00 p.m. which is in about 3 hours. But here we are. I think there's a few more stalls open today as well. Maybe a lot of them are closed on a Sunday. But it's very busy here. But here we are. >> So, a lot of these stalls sell very similar things, I've noticed, which is a bit weird because I was expecting it to sell um like a big variety of things. So, >> yeah, the hat store wasn't open yesterday or unless we just didn't walk down this section. I've decided I am going to try a Leb coo. Oh, that's a different one, isn't it? >> Wait, I want this. >> These are little. >> I don't even know what it is. >> Margan brought it out. >> I do like the gem spiced biscuits though. I've had them in little before, but they're very nice. Oh, these are so cute. >> Just get one that we can try. If you like it, then >> Okay, I'm going to get a leuchen and they do pistachio, orange, mold wine, uh, walnut, salted caramel flavors. Pria found a vegan one, which is really exciting. >> What flavor? >> I don't know what this is. >> What flavor is the yellow one? The yellow one is how do we say egg? >> Oh, eggnog. Eggnog. Oh, okay. >> Should we get pistachio? Do you think that's pistachio? Go for What flavor did you go for? The vegan one. >> What did you get? >> Live taste test, guys. >> Is it good? Okay, >> I'm going to save mine for a bit later. >> Nice. >> Edible wafer. >> Oh, nice. Sorry, this is a bit slow. God, what did you say? >> Edible wafer. >> Edible wafer. >> Oh, that's cute. It's like rice pee. It's like that >> melts on your tongue thing. Yeah, >> we bought a pista a pistachio one to share. But I feel a bit sugared out after that um hot cranberry mule that we had. I couldn't finish it. It was far too sweet. So, I want to I'm on a the hunt for a vegan sausage but without like bread. Nice. I think >> look, she enjoying it. >> What's inside? >> Oh, nice. It's got the same like spiced stuff to the Pria bought some like gingerbread bites as well as you thought it was going to be quite small. >> Yeah, less spice in this one. >> Oh, nice. I really like the spice like things that they have here. Priya bought um a bag of some gingerbread bites that were vegan and because they were only €3, she thought the bag would be tiny and it's huge and she hasn't got a lot of space in her luggage. So, we all were forced to eat one and this was really nice. >> I'm not normally a sweet person, but they're not actually sweet, right? They're not overly sugary. >> Cookies and Yeah. >> Yeah. Really nice. >> Rather than caking. >> Yeah. >> So, we found this store that does potato pancakes. Um, potato. Okay. Does have any dairy or eggs. >> J is going to brave that gigantic sausage in basically half a baguette. >> Can they do burgers here as well? Burgers. >> Burgers. >> Those are actually onions. They're not um sauerkraut. >> Where can you see vegan? >> Oh. Oh, okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, I got a hot chocolate with rum and they do oately which was very exciting. But I'm trying not to spill it because it is so crowded and she folded mine quite high at the top. I do need to drink some. I really like the scuba diving Santa. >> Yeah. >> Polar dash. Is that like Door Dash? You know, Americans have that instead of delivery. >> Oh, yeah. American school bus. So cool. >> Looks like the concert is about to begin. Oh, we've got 10 minutes actually. There's a cat singers. >> Oh, get the seats already. No seats, but there's >> no seats, but yeah, you have to stand really I'm very short before people start. Okay. The best thing about traveling with somebody else that doesn't eat meat is you get to share things. So, we got a vegan burger from 60s Smashburger with some vegan bacon that we added into it. We're cutting the burger in half just to share it. These dresses chips as part of his meal deal. And we got some avocado chili fries, which is basically fried avocado. Is it good? >> Okay. I don't know how I feel about hot avocado, but I'm willing to give it a go. I actually had it for the first time in Kenya on a pizza and it was really strange. We've now come to um the rooftop bar in our hotel. We're staying at a hotel called the Cloud One Newberg. I'm not sure if I've said this already. It doesn't say it on here, but the views from here are stunning. Let me split this around and show you. >> Morning. It is our last day in Newberg today and we're just checking out of the hotel. Um, we drank far too much glue wine yesterday, but it was such a fun day. The bar in the hotel isn't all that. The service wasn't great, but it was really, really busy in there. And we're just going to leave our luggage with the hotel and then wait for Pria to come and meet us because we're not leaving until this evening. We are off to the Catsson Temple which is a vegan restaurant but also a cat cafe. Pra came here yesterday morning um but she said the food looked good so here we are danka. >> Oh thanks anyway. >> We can't see here. Yeah, we can't sit here. This table's taken. You can sit there. Venue is really cool. It um has cat etiquette on the back. So, it says to turn off your flash. Stay clear of the cat doors. Don't feed them. Don't chase us or pick us up. Um Oh, and these are the cats. They've got There's five. That's actually really cute. Um there's two that are just blatantly not interested in us. >> Oh, the other two over there. Yeah, two there now. It's good we didn't sit there and disturb the heat. >> Yeah, true. >> So, this is my huge breakfast. It was much bigger than I thought it was going to be. And I got a side of kimchi and scrambled tofu. These guys are going to have to help me finish it cuz also got kimchi and a crussled sandwich. And just breakfast is so piddley. Do you want some savory first and then you can have your sweet afterwards? Got gingerbread cappuccino, gingerbread latte, and matcha latte. There's a lot of food. >> We've just climbed up a massive hill to come to this panoramic viewpoint on the way to the castle, which is just behind me. And the views are stunning. But obviously the sun is just a little bit low in the sky right now. So you can only really see the buildings on this side where I'm facing the camera. But that hill was bloody steep and it is actually so unnaturally warm right now. It's 13° and we only patched thermals. But here we are. The grounds are really beautiful. And actually this is probably the busiest place that we've been to outside of the Christmas markets. The streets here are so dead. It's actually really nice and peaceful. >> Our time in Nuremberg has come to an end. We have to say bye to Pria. >> Bye-bye. >> It's been a really fun trip. >> Thank you. And you. >> I'm going to miss this. >> I am too. It was It's been such a nice like what? Two nights, three nights. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We've had a really good time. I think Christmas markets, um, this is obviously our first time going, are so much more fun with friends. Would you not say? >> Absolutely. I wouldn't want to do a solo trip. >> Yeah. And I actually think that if you're like vegan or vegetarian, go with someone that eats similar things to you because then you can just share everything and try everything. It's been really good fun. So Priya is now flying home and J and I have a train booked to I keep saying Regionsburg. She thinks it's pronounced Regensburg. >> Regensburg. >> Regensburg. We'll find out. >> Hopefully we'll find out before I start my new vlog. >> Completely. >> It'll be completely different. Um so I will start a new vlog then. But thank you so much for watching and we will see you next time. >> Bye vlog. Bye.
