Always open to the idea of taking off for an adventure at the last second, I recently traveled to Nuremberg, Germany where I spent some quality time before embarking on my first ever river cruise with Viking River Cruises. So if you’re visiting Nuremberg, Germany before a cruise, read on. But first, where exactly is Nuremberg? From… Read More
After arriving at Nuremberg airport and collecting both my bags and my travel partner for the next twelve days, Karla we were off to enjoy Nuremberg.
