Exploring the Munich Christmas Markets & BMW World 🇩🇪 / Nishi V

Good morning from Munich. I'm so tired this morning. I've woken up with a really puffy eye, but we checked into this hotel yesterday early evening. It's actually very nice. Um, it's a really nice boutique hotel. And let me just show you the view from our room because we're kind of in the middle of nowhere. We're not anywhere near the old town, which is a bit of a shame. But just there is East Munich Station, Obanoff. We have one full day in Munich. I'm a little bit over vlogging if I'm completely honest. I'm so tired. Um, this week has been really good, really fun. We've been walking about 18,000 steps every single day. So, we started off in Nuremberg. We're there for two nights, three full days there. And then we had two nights in Regensburg and now we're in Munich. I have an apple that I'm about to eat. Um, we're going to head into like the center of Munich and find somewhere for breakfast. Don't know how far it is. And yeah, we're going to check out some Christmas markets and I'll just take you with me where we go. I really need some fresh air and need to wake up. Um, but like I said, I love this hotel. I don't love the location, which is a bit of a shame, but they gave me a complimentary apple yesterday, so I'm kind of going to have that for my breakfast. Look at how nice this is. These are the stairs, and there's like a lounge downstairs on the first floor with a Christmas tree. This is the lobby. Oh, lifts here. It's really funny because it reminds me of being in Paris. It's so tiny. It's barely a twoman lift. Here we go. This apple's very tasteless, actually. >> Just come out for breakfast. I got a vegan chicken bagel. Just got a smoothie bowl, which I would have got, but it has coconut yogurt in it. And this place is so busy. It's clearly very popular. It's a vegan cafe called Emy's Kitchen. We're just walking around Valian uh farmers market. It's really like dead for quite a big city around here. I don't know if it's just the places that we've been to or if it's always like this. So, I thought I sort of pictured Munich to be a bit more busy. So, I think everything here is quite close together. We're now walking to Marian Plats, which is the main square in Munich. They do have a Christmas market there, but I don't know if that'll be open yet because obviously it's still quite early in the morning. Wow, look at the dramatic building. I think that's the church or the stop the n something rat house come to the espresso store um at Marian Plats because they've got a cafe up here. Everyone has the same idea that I've been hanging around for a while trying to get to one of the windows to take a photo. But u we've been here for far too long and obviously people are just chilling having their coffee. So we're going to head back now. Market we've been to um across three cities and even within the cities. Each market sells something really different. I don't know what this is. We think this is like a rattle for kids. Um, >> these are little cute travel games. >> Hungry, but that sounds so good. V veggie grilled sandwich with grilled zucchini, goats cheese, homemade barbecue sauce, tomato, and ruler, which I think is rocket. So, we just followed a bunch of people in through for an open door. We're inside the rat house, I think. And we just climbed a really steep staircase. I think we're about halfway up. I don't know how high up the tower goes. Maybe two, three more floors. I don't know if this is the tower for the views. And now I've lost your ass. It's a bit creepy. So, we're here. We came in through that door. And this is the tower that we were climbing. You won't be able to see it just on the right there. We've just been shown the exit because apparently they're now closing. But this is the newest rat house which is the new town hall. It's really beautiful, but it's absolutely massive. Okay. It's now properly dark. It's nighttime, but we've just got to Odon's Plats. This really reminds me of Berlin where Brandenburg Gate is. It looks like the same road. Like the road looks the same. Um but the palace is just behind this man playing music here. So, there's meant to be a Christmas market on here. Doesn't sound like one. This is also a palace, but unlike the one we visited in Regansburg, I don't think anybody lives here, so they don't charge an entrance fee. But so far, that is still the best Christmas market we've been to. The one we had to pay to get into. You mean it's supposed to be around here? >> I think so. This looks like it's the palace. I should probably look at my Google maps, but bless you. God, we're so confused. We walked past the palace and back again to come inside. It's not really a palace, I don't think. It's called Munich uh residence. But where the hell is the market? It's meant to be. Yeah. Go on then. Just gone to ask. I'm just going straight through to see if I see anything. This is the right way. So, you come in here. I was so confused as Oh, is this where you buy tickets? >> Well, this is free to me. >> I'm so confused. Okay, so it's in through here. What is happening? I think they're searching bags like the last one. Actually, >> this toilet is free. Oh, these the toilets, right? >> Oh, so you walk through here. >> Oh, that's one for toilets. >> Yeah, you have to stay here for a couple. >> Okay, here we go. This was hard to find. >> Bloody hell. I was like, uh, are we the only people here? >> That's what everyone's here. This meant to be the quiet version. >> Wow. >> Is a Friday night, though. Okay, so this is a small Christmas market and it's said to be quite a traditional one, but it also said it's very quiet. So, this isn't quiet. food here than people actually selling things though. And some of the food smells really good, but I haven't seen anything veggie yet. Are we walking around like um clockwise? Yeah. Oh, there's people up there in the windows. One of the busiest. >> Oh, it is the busiest. Yeah. >> Yeah. I've just been googling what some of the stuff is. So on the left that cas casputson is a German mac and cheese with it's like noodles, cheese and caramelized onions. And on the right it's corn on the cob. Oh, let's hope it's vegetarian cuz it doesn't say. But the key is quite long which is always a good sign. That should be €10, J. So it's six for the mac and cheese and four for the corn on the cob. We should share it, right? Took a bite of this on camera but on my phone and it is so good. The only thing that's missing in my opinion is Tabasco. Mac and cheese always needs a bit of spice. Can I try some? >> Yeah, let me try it. Hold on. >> Yeah, I got this. >> I love cold so much. >> That's nice. >> It needs your mouth go right. It needs a bit of spice. Yeah. One of the most unique things I've ever seen at a Christmas market. I was I'm pretty sure that says chocolate. I don't know how good my German is. >> It's literally It says lactose and gluten-free. Some of them are vegan. The lights are flashing here. I'm not sure why, but sorry. Uh, thank you. Look at this. This is literally made out of chocolate. It's a camera. >> This is incredible. There's a cheese grater, pasta, pasta spoon. >> Oh my god, this is quite literally the most unique thing I've ever seen. >> Yeah, but you have to take it out. >> That mac and cheese was good, but I feel like all I've eaten is carbs. The corn on the cob was I swear down like the best thing I've eaten at all of the Christmas markets combined. I love it so much. Um, we've left this market. I wasn't really feeling it. It's just so busy. It's It's literally the worst market we've been to. People were nudging me out the way like as I was trying to film and because What's happening in here? Um, okay. Because everyone is at least a foot or two taller than me, they just don't see me when they turn around. I'm not in their ey line. They're looking up there. They just walk straight into me and I'm like, "Hello." Anyway, I don't know if we're going to go back to Marian Plats, which there was one vegan brat worst there that I didn't try, but I don't think I can eat any more food to be honest, and that was half a meter long. But, um, should we head back to the hotel, watch a Christmas movie? >> Yep. Last night we discovered that somebody the whoever last aided in that room has signed into their Netflix on the TV and we watched Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. I was hoping to fall asleep to it but I didn't. >> Anyway, we're going to head back uh to the hotel and today is our last full day in Germany. We've done 14,000 steps today. Not as much as the other days, but you know, changed our mind. And I saw on my maps that I pinned another Christmas market here. I don't know what's going on with my maps, though. It keeps changing all the English into German. So, I don't actually know what this one is called. Uh, starts with a W. Okay, this one's smaller. I like the smaller, quieter ones. >> Definitely be quiet. >> Oh, there's an ATM here as well. >> Oh, that one's going to gone from this one cuz one, I reckon. >> Yeah, I think so. But it's nice because you can actually browse in peace. I like the smaller huts though and there is a bit more of an open space. >> Oh, look. Oh, is this the medieval one? >> Oh, yeah. I reckon >> there was one that I pinned that was a medieval market. Oh, this one's really cool. >> Yeah. Look at the hut. They're all different. Back what I said. This market is also super busy. It's clearly just a Friday night thing. Here we go. Oh, everyone's so tall. I can't see anything. Morning. It's our last morning in Munich today and I'm actually quite happy to be going home. I'm a little bit over Christmas market. We've just checked out of the hotel. We've got a few hours to kill. We had a very relaxing morning just basically buming around because our flight is quite late at night. But we need to go from here to central Munich, then get another train back to Nuremberg, then from there go to the airport, hang around for 2 hours, fly home, then have like a 2hour drive home. It's going to be a long day. Um, but it's a shame we couldn't get a flight out of Munich because it was far too expensive. And also, Ryan and I don't fly from here anymore to Stanstead. Um, we're going out for I guess this is now lunch. I don't really know what meal this is, but it's breakfast for us. And I'm not sure what we're doing today because we're all a bit Christmas marketed out. Okay. I don't know how I feel about this, but this is Menamon. It's a bit runnier than I thought it would be. and you eat it with bread. Jas's got these um luma which are like he said they're savory but they're fried bread like donuts and then there's a choice of fillings. There's Nutella. There's a um which is going to be quite nice. There's cheese, marmalade, jam, and I don't know what the yogurty one is. It's a gray day today. We've just come out to uh BMW Welt, which is BMW World. And Google Maps is telling me to go that way, but I'm pretty sure it's this way. I'm pretty sure this is it. There's um BMW World, which is called BMW Welt, which you don't have to pay to enter. And there's a BMW museum that you do have to pay to enter, but we don't care enough. Seems like everyone is headed this way. So cold. My ears are cold. Dad would love that Mini Cooper. That old like style is his dream car. Can we go for a test drive on an auto barn? How cool would that be? So, Jess, you know, you keep asking me what I want for Christmas. I'm going to um give you a clue. Right. We're headed that direction now. Can you see? >> Coffee. >> Not coffee. >> I can buy my own coffee. Can't buy my own Rolls-Royce. What's this? >> So, this lady just asked if we want to do a treasure hunt, and you have to find four QR codes. I think I found one on the rear view window of this car. I personally would not be asked to do this, but just wants to do it, obviously. >> Oh, it's doing something. >> Yeah, it's found something. Here we go. Heritage. >> Heritage. Okay, I'll be the person that helps you find them. That's not it. I asked her. She said that's just for more information. >> No. >> Told you. >> There's four, but it's just on this area where it's a white floor. >> Okay. Find it. Find it. >> Here's another one. I'll find you. Here's one. Oh, can't see on camera. One more to go. >> Here. Did you get this one? >> No. Same one, is it? >> Oh, I don't know. >> Oh, yeah. It says great job. Nice. >> To activate your voucher, we just need a few details. Of course, they do. >> Here we are. I'm from >> found the car that I want for Christmas. This is so nice. I wouldn't ordinarily like this color, but obviously this car is just a little bit special. And conveniently, I've now lost Jess. Jess, what do you think? >> This is the car I'd like for Christmas. I really like the burnt orange like leather seats as well. I'm sure there's an actual name for them, but you know, this is quite cool. I think you are supposed to download an app for it, though. Tried to catch that ball, but didn't go. Oh, you would be standing. You should have stand in the middle. You meant you meant to go back in the middle. You >> really Oh, yeah. That's true. Oh, that's cool. That is >> do some spin around. Do jumping or something. >> That's it. Yeah. >> Maybe that determines what kind of car you get. >> Oh, wow. >> Yeah. >> My last one. That is a nice >> I don't know if I showed you, but this is the little box box box of chocolates that just won. >> We're just leaving BMW World. It was really good actually. It was really like quite interactive and interesting. So, you don't need to like massively be into cars because I'm not. I'm just an ex BMW driver of many years that has downgraded in the past few years. Um, and I really like BMWs, but I don't know if I like them enough to have another one. Anyway, I'm just not like massively into cars. But this was really cool. They had like some interactivity bits. Maybe don't do the little quiz for a tiny box of chocolates. But yeah, I highly recommend it if you're looking for something to do in Munich outside of the Christmas markets. We're now about to jump on the train and head back to our hotel to get our luggage to head back to Nuremberg to then fly home in about 6 hours. Anyway, I'm going to end this video here. Thank you so much for watching. Oh, right. Yeah. And I will see you in the next one. I don't even know where that will be. Thanks for watching. Right.
