Nuremberg is about two hours from Munich.  Just like with Bamberg, our goal was to get a little taste of the city.

A few years before our trip my husband came home from a Baltimore Ravens game and, after he fell asleep, talked about three new friends he made: Edgar, Allen, and Poe.  I tease him occasionally about this night, so when I saw that there was a hotel named Drei Raben (in English it means three ravens), I had to book it.

What turned out to be a joke, turned into a wonderful boutique hotel.  We chose to stay in a mythical theme room.  Ours was named St. Sebaldus.  It was an adorable room with a story written on the ceiling and a castle headboard.

Downstairs in the lobby you will find a small breakfast room which was nice to grab a bite in the morning.

Our day in the city involved a walk around the town and a stop at the Transportation Museum. The museum has everything from conductor uniforms to model trains, to train gardens.  It was very insightful, and much more lighthearted than some of the other sites.

The Hauptmarkt is in Old Town and is a place (or in my eyes, the place) to buy fruits and vegetables.  Just like in Bamberg, the colors were so amazingly bright.  My envy grew – it wasn’t just Bamberg that had such a wonderful market, it was Nuremberg too. I’d be thrilled if we had them at home.

I never thought that the smaller less-known German cities (at least to Americans) would be a place to visit at least twice.  Our walk around the town; however, let us know that we want to go back.  There were too many things that we would like to see and foods we would like to try.
