Nuremberg

The most interesting historical landmarks of the Bavarian city are located by the canals of the Pegnitz River. Take a stroll from the Schlayerturm fortress tower to the Steubenbrücke bridge. Admire the medieval bridges and ancient mansions. Cross the Meat Bridge to reach the main square of Nuremberg. Notice the magnificent Gothic facade of the Frauenkirche and the sculptures of the Schöner Brunnen. This square is where the famous Christmas market takes place. Head to the Museum Bridge to admire the medieval Kreuzigungshof complex.

A unique introduction to the Old Town is guaranteed with a walk along the medieval city walls with 80 towers. Include in your city exploration plans a visit to the fortress with its well and underground passages (entrance near Sinwellturm tower); a visit to the Albrecht-Dürer-Haus; a photo session at the half-timbered houses on Weißgerbergasse. A panoramic view of the city unveils from the height of the bell tower of Sebalduskirche.

Visit the Memorium Nuremberg Trials to explore the documents and evidence of the most famous tribunal of the 20th century. Fascinating exhibits can be found at the grand complex of the German National Museum.
