Nürnberg Volksfest

I guess it would be fair to say the fun began earlier than expected! I encountered this train at the Nürnberg bahnhoff – something from a mini-folk tale I would rather say )

The entrance to the fest unfolded with a brilliant view of what lay inside

Never had I imagined a fest could be on such a grand scale. Be it the rides or shops, volksfest offered more than I had bargained for from a simple fair! In fact it had a good balance between the real cute rides, the usual ones and the really hairy-scary ones

Usual Rides

Cute Rides

Defying Gravity

Of course we didn’t have the heart (or age ) to try all the rides, so we simply stuck on to the more palpable ones

Up we Gooooo...

It wasn’t the rides alone that attracted so much attention from us; I mean there were shops too O:-)

Shops of All Types

After doing three rounds of the whole park we were too damn tired and the imbiss and eateries became our hunting ground.

Of course it wouldn’t do justice if I don’t mention the most attractive piece (at least for me) in the whole fest! I was attracted to the massive structure of the giant wheel even before I got in it to see the amazing view from top

Great View from Giant Wheel

So I’ll leave you with pictures of this one taken during day
