Looking for things to do in Nuremberg, Germany? This list has you covered with everything from the touristy musts to quirkier offbeat finds. Enjoy! I’ll be real: Nuremberg is a place that’s   easy to fall for. This world-famous city, located in the north of Bavaria, is every bit the fairytale dream so often linked to  Deutschland : candy cane half-timbered facades, an epic castle on a hill, dangerously munchable gingerbread, and a glittering Christmas market to boot. But as with most amazing cities, the true magic of Nuremberg comes from its dynamic layers. Lurking beneath those photogenic facades is a dark past intertwined with war, genocide, and centuries of tumultuous history. It is precisely this duality that makes Nuremberg one of the most fascinating cities to visit in Germany, and one that you can keep visiting again and again. So, what is there to do in Nuremberg? It turns out, plenty of things. Below you’ll find a roundup of my favourite things to do in ...

  Thanks to a buzzing international airport, glittering name-recognition and status as one of the oldest and most spectacular Christmas markets in Germany, Frankfurt Christmas Market is one of THE most sought-after winter destinations in all of Europe. … Which means crowds. And tourists. But alas, still plenty of opportunities get schwasted on hot booze, so you know it can’t be all bad.

This past visit however, I got to see Frankfurt in a whole new light… and I enjoyed it, even  without burritos. If there’s a time to truly appreciate Frankfurt, it’s no doubt the Christmas market season, when the streets are flooded with sugar high humans and all sorts of belly-busting treat...

Headed to Oktoberfest this year? This guide will walk you through everything you need to know! I remember when I attended my first Oktoberfest (well, parts of it anyway 😉 ), I was a young naive exchange student who could barely shotgun a beer… Trust me when I say NOTHING could have prepared me for the insanity of Oktoberfest, the world’s largest (and possibly messiest) beer festival. 5L of beer later on my first day, and I was converted. I fell in love with beer, with Oktoberfest and with Munich.  I guess that’s why (surprise!) I live here now. And that still makes me as giddy as I was before my first Oktoberfest. Back then though, I remember hunting all over for solid Oktoberfest information in English, and didn’t find much that gave me all the details I needed. That’s why I decided to write this massive guide. If you’ve been sleuthing the web for Oktoberfest information in English, this one’s for you – a guide with insider info on e...
