Christmas Markets in Europe...Day 5

We started our day off with a run and breakfast at our hotel. We had plans to go to Augsburg later, which is only a short 30-40 minute train ride away. With that being said, we wandered around Munich a bit and had a little bit of a lazy day. 

We ended up finding a very cute spot in the Viktualienmarkt for lunch. We enjoyed some soup and enjoyed the atmosphere.


Walking back to our hotel. I always prefer to go back through the Marienplatz. It is just so gorgeous.


Such a gorgeous view.


There is an S-Bahn stop right by our hotel that we could use to go to the main train station, however, we prefer to walk to the train station. By walking we get to stop and watch the ice skaters in Karlsplatz.



Ice skaters in Karlsplatz. We sat here for a while and enjoyed gluhwein. 


After a short train ride, we arrived in charming Augsburg!  We arrived just as it was getting dark. Next time, we plan to arrive a little earlier to explore this darling city.



The Augsburg Christkindlmarkt



It is so beautiful that it does not even look real.

One of the sweet stahls!


We both agreed that we absolutely loved this market. We both had some dinner here and I shopped around for a bit. This market has so many unique drink options with unique glasses. I brought home a frosted gluhwein mug from here to add to my collection.



Ken's spiked Gluhwein and my Hot Aperol. I loved how they served the Aperol in a wine glass. 


Having so much fun in beautiful Augsburg. I mean, Hot Aperol, a Christmas Pyramid, and tons of twinkle lights. What is there not to love???


After eating, drinking, and shopping, we took a short ride back to Munich. We ended up having some time before the markets closed so we ended up in our beloved Rindermarkt at the Christmas Pyramid. 


Ending the night with pommes frites and gluhwein at the second Christmas Pyramid of the day! I am not sure that our day could have been any better!
