Important: this replaces the Meetup in Hot Bar for this Saturday

Today we venture to what is not the oldest Christmas market in the world (that’s Vienna) but the most popular in Germany and the origin of the famous gingerbread (Lebkuchen) - Nuremberg . The idea is to spend some time sightseeing, including some sights near the market such as the castle and main churches. In case of interest, the Reichsparteitag site may also be an option. For those not interested in sightseeing, they can meet us in the centre, we’ll be at the castle around 2:45pm tbc. The last 2-2 1/2 hours we will roam around the Christmas market and have Glühwein and food (default is take-away at the market but restaurant at your own initiative is possible, too). There will also be time to buy handicraft and gingerbread on the market and surrounding shops.Please bring some cash, cards are not accepted by all stalls.

We offer two transport options - the ones wishing to use the Deutschlandticket meet at the time indicated and leave 8:34 on RE55 to Würzburg at platforma7, arriving 11:54 in Nürnberg. The less early birds take ICE529, leaving 9:54, arriving in Nuremberg 11:56, virtually the same time. The scheduled return connection is RE20 to Schweinfurt at 17:40, reaching Frankfurt 20:52, for Deutschlandticket, and ICE528 at 17:57 reaching FFM 20:04 for those with less time. Return tickets are currently around 50-60€. Please buy your own ticket. Group tickets are tricky as we‘d need both for Hesse and Bavaria, and the latter one has a different price depending on how many people share - impossible to plan given absence of commitment on Meetup

The reason for the early return is twofold: First, to enable everyone from outside Frankfurt to comfortably reach home in case of train delays. Second, as temperatures may drop till then and it may be difficult to spend much more than 1 hour outside after sunset, also given Nuremberg tends to be colder than Frankfurt in winter. There can be a later return group. In any case, please wear warm shoes and several layers of clothes to be ok during a longer ride in warm trains and longer stay outside.
