Christmas Markets+
Marianne was a great host. The company and Marianne did a good job communicating and keeping us abreast of information prior to the trip. On the day of, Marianne was early and greeted us upon arrival. Marianne confirmed the train and tickets were in alignment and off to the platform we went. The train was delayed (nothing you can do) but through our discussions with Marianne, we informed her we were mostly interested in the Christmas markets were rated #1 for German Christmas. Marianne knows her way very well through the town and the markets and we easily maneuvered through the crowds to our location enjoying almost no wait times for queuing to get into our locations. We informed Marianne that for lunch, we were really only interested in the street food at the markets, to which she found us the best RostBrats in town! These little delights are a holiday special & I could have stood there all day eating them! My wife was interested in potato pancakes, and once again Marianne found us the best site and gobble gobble, they were good and gone! We also informed Marianne that we were interested in getting some gingerbread since Nuremburg is famous for the gingerbread. She showed us several locations and took us to the best of the best to which we acquired some goodies for my father back home. The walking was easy except the castle (that is one steep hike up) but we felt that if Marianne could do it, we could do it! If you don’t do well on inclines, I would suggest passing on the castle, worth the trip, but not worth the pain! Marianne provided we wealth of information and input throughout the day as she as a wealth of knowledge on all things Nuremburg. We had a private room in the train ride back that made for a nice way to end our day, our thanx to Marianne for taking such good care of us! We totally recommend this tour.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Munich Day Trip by Train to Nuremberg Old Town with Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Munich.
How much does Munich Day Trip by Train to Nuremberg Old Town with Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $242 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Munich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Munich Day Trip by Train to Nuremberg Old Town with Guide take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Munich is not rushed.
Is Munich Day Trip by Train to Nuremberg Old Town with Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Munich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Munich Day Trip by Train to Nuremberg Old Town with Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Munich Day Trip by Train to Nuremberg Old Town with Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Munich Day Trip by Train to Nuremberg Old Town with Guide?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Munich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Munich and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Munich Day Trip by Train to Nuremberg Old Town with Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Munich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Munich?
+
On Outty we rank every Munich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour with Train from Munich, Munich Classic Bike Tour @ 11.30am with Surfers & beergarden stop, Dachau Memorial Half-Day Tour from Munich (Early-Start). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Munich?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Munich?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
