This post is part of my Traveling Tuesday Series<\/a>. Also see my tips for traveling to Munich with kids<\/a>.<\/em><\/h5>\n

Our first winter living in Dublin, we took a 10 day trip through Germany with my parents to see the Christmas Markets<\/a>\u00a0when our daughters, Honeybun and Sugarplum, \u00a0were 2 1\/2 years and 5 months. It was the only trip we took\u00a0in Europe where we rented a car. We started in Munich<\/a>, drove up to Berlin<\/a> and left from Hamburg<\/a>. Along the way, we were able to stop\u00a0and spend\u00a0some time in some of the less popular cities that would have missed had we not done the driving tour.<\/p>\n

Here are the basics of traveling to Nuremberg, Leipzig and Wittenberg,\u00a0Germany\u00a0with kids:<\/h2>\n

Getting Around<\/h3>\n

Even though we had the car to get between cities, we walked as much as possible within the cities while we were there. In both Nuremberg and Leipzig, we stayed a night in the middle of the city which made it easy to walk\u00a0to the attractions we wanted to see. In Wittenberg, we just had lunch and visited\u00a0Lutherhaus so ease of getting around wasn’t a concern.<\/p>\n

Kid Accessibility<\/h3>\n

Even in the snow, we found all three cities, while small, easy to get around with the kids, both of whom were both riding in buggies\/strollers most of the time. We did choose to leave the buggies behind when visiting some museums and sites, instead carrying Sugarplum and having Honeybun walk.<\/p>\n

Eating in\u00a0Nuremberg, Leipzig and Wittenberg,\u00a0Germany\u00a0with kids<\/h3>\n

One of our favorite things about visiting these smaller cities was how everything was small and personable. We spent some meals simply eating our way through the Christmas Markets and our breakfasts were usually included with our hotel stay. But the restaurants we did got to were family owned and everything was freshly prepared. It allowed us to comfortably try new and local treats.<\/p>\n

Preparing for a trip to\u00a0Nuremberg, Leipzig and Wittenberg,\u00a0Germany\u00a0with Kids:<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m big on planning our trips ahead of time because traveling with kids makes things just a little bit more complicated as they aren\u2019t always very patient when you don\u2019t have a plan so I always did a lot of research and planning before our trips.
