About Nuremberg
Half-timbered lanes, castle walls and market stalls give Nuremberg a medieval face in Bavaria, Germany, where Franconian food and difficult history share the old city.
The Altstadt brings together the Imperial Castle, Albrecht Dürer’s House and the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, while the Documentation Center at the Nazi Party Rally Grounds examines a darker chapter.
Two to four days suits a visit, with the Altstadt providing a central place to stay and easy walking between major sights. Market squares and traditional restaurants add Nürnberger Rostbratwürste, Lebkuchen and Schäufele to the city’s cultural landscape.
