Nuremberg Christmas Fair

In fiecare an, in luna Decembrie, in orasele mari ale lumii (si nu numai) se organizeaza, dupa cum bine stiti, frumoasele targuri de Craciun. Aceste targuri, care pot fi de dimensiuni reduse, cum avem si noi unul dragut la Cluj, sau de dimensiuni mari (Viena, Nuremberg...) expun o multitudine de produse autohtone, care mai de care mai interesante si mai frumos lucrate. 
Anul acesta am avut ocazia sa petrec weekend-ul de "Mos Nicolae" in frumosul Nuremberg, un orasel superb cu o atmosfera magica de Craciun. Pe langa faimosul targ de Craciun, Nuremberg e impanzit de magazine, restaurante, cafenele si foarte interesant de saloane de infrumusetare. Am ajuns vineri, 4 decembrie si voi pleca luni, deci nu este o excursie foarte lunga, insa este suficient pentru a vizita principala atractie a orasului in aceasta perioada (targul), de a cerceta putin imprejurimile si a afla cate ceva despre acest oras si pentru a achizitiona cate un suvenir. 

Imi place foarte mult modul relaxat al localnicilor, felul in care sambata seara, ies in centrul orasului si se delecteaza in plina strada cu o cana de vin fiert, la o poveste in grupuri de prieteni. De asemenea sunt impresionata de numarul mare de magazine si brand-uri prezente intr-un oras asa de mic. Arhitectura Nuremberg-ului este frumoasa, clara, ordonata si perfect aliniata. Toate cladirile au inaltimi similare si astfel este posibil sa vezi turnurile frumoase ale bisericilor de peste tot. Vreau sa va arat cateva poze atat de la targ cat si de prin imprejurimi, si voi reveni cu mai multe detalii in zilele ce urmeaza!

Daca sunteti tentati sa vizitati acest orasel, va recomand sa o faceti in perioada targului de Craciun, deoarece atmosfera este magica, iar vinul fiert este grozav! 
PS: Savurati dulciurile de la Mos Nicolae, iar daca ati primit nuielusa nu va faceti griji, o puteti folosi in scopuri decorative si arata grozav!

Every year in December, cities all over the world host those cute Christmas fairs. Whether they are small sized, such as ours from Cluj-Napoca or super sized like the ones from Vienna or Nuremberg, they are magically beautiful. All of them host autenthic handmade products. This year I was so lucky to travel to Nuremberg. Besides the gorgeous Christmas Fair, Nuremberg has a lot of shops, restaurants, cafes and curious...beauty parlours. I am here between the 4th and 7th of December so I am glad that I have the time to really visit the fair, to check out the surroundings and to do a little shopping. 

I just love the way the locals spend their evenings by having a glass of mulled wine, with their friends in the middle of the city center, right there in the street. Also I am impressed by the high number of beautiful stores and brands that you can find here. I think it is a really big deal for such a small town to host so many cool shops. The architecture is also beautiful, so neat and tidy. The buildings have similar heights therefore you can see the churches' beautiful gothic towers from almost everywhere. I would like to show you some photos, but stay tunned cause I will post some more about this beautiful city!

I strongly recommend that you visit Nuremberg during this time of year, mainly because the vibe is amazing but also because the mulled wine is really tasty! 
PS: Enjoy the treats that St. Nick brought you and if you also got a whip, don't worry cause you can use it as a cool decoration!
