Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Museum
The Imperial Castle of Nuremberg, also known as Kaiserburg, is a majestic 11th-century castle complex that includes a royal palace and gardens. Perched on a sandstone cliff overlooking the city, it is divided into three parts: the imperial castle Kaiserburg, noble buildings in Burggrafenburg, and other structures to the east in stadtische Burganlage.
One of the most well kept castles for its size and age. Not a lot of English info so prepare to get the audio guide if you want to know more about the castle. Had fun climbing the tower and the views of Nuremberg were unmatched!
Elle F — Google review
One of the iconic castles of Germany, with loads of imperial connections, and well worth braving the rather steep ascent (the views are great, too). Part of the fortifications that lure you up are actually the city wall, not the castle proper, but the overall effect is what counts. If you are spendthrift, skip the castle interior (interesting, but nor overwhelming), and definitely do not eat there (much better value can be found around the nearby Dürerhaus or in town).
Bernd B — Google review
Definitely worth the price of admission. Lots of walking so wear good shoes. Make sure to check out the bridge near the bus drop-off point for the best view. No photography once you are inside. The castle is fabulous. There are bathrooms and a small Cafe inside. Get there early to avoid the crowd.
Mike R — Google review
Nuremberg Castle Beautiful castle with great panoramic views of the city! 🏰✨ The climb up gives you a bit of a sweat, but totally worth it once you reach the top — the scenery is amazing. Perfect spot for photos and enjoying the old-town vibe from above.
Subencha P — Google review
From other reviews, didn't believe there'd be a lot of items to see in the museum. Was very surprised at the amount of historical items and information provided. The views of the city were fantastic along with the historic background. Very easy walk even inside the museum and inner grounds. I highly recommend to anyone visiting.

One of the best place to visit. I will comeback again here so soon! ✨️ and I hope I can see the man we were with again, the one with long hair and the one wearing a red jacket at my back. Shout out to them. 📣 Photo taken last January 07 2025.

Beautiful spot to explore — great for a scenic walk with lovely views over the city. The whole place has a strong historic atmosphere and makes for a really nice visit.

The Imperial Castle is the symbol of Nuremberg. Since the Middle Ages its silhouette has represented the power and importance of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and the outstanding role of the imperial city of Nuremberg. From 1050 to 1571, all Holy Roman Emperors resided – at least temporarily – in the Imperial Castle. An archeological exploration of the grounds of the castle has revealed remains of a fortress.

The Albrecht Dürer House in Nuremberg is a must-visit for art enthusiasts and history buffs. This timbered Gothic house survived WWII bombing and now houses original etchings and woodcuts by the renowned German Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dürer. The museum offers a glimpse into Dürer's life, featuring a recreated studio and print shop, as well as a gallery showcasing both replica and original works.
An interesting museum, the audio guide is included in the ticket price (€7.5) and is available in Russian. The museum tells the history of the house itself, the story of Dürer and his family, features copies of his works, the preserved kitchen, and reconstructed rooms. I spent an hour and a half there as if in one breath. Highly recommended! If you come at the opening, there are few people and it’s very comfortable.
Irina S — Google review
A charming museum that offers a closer look at the life and work of this talented and self-assured painter. It feels special to visit in his hometown. Although it’s sad that Nuremberg lost many of his original works, the reproductions and the effort of other artists to keep his legacy alive are meaningful and well worth seeing.
Yulan Z — Google review
Authentic house that was home to famous medieval artist. Although there are only reproductions and period furniture in the house, it feels real and relays the life story of Durer in great detail.
Mike Z — Google review
Albrecht-Dürer-Haus The museum does a great job of presenting its exhibits, even though it’s a bit small — which is understandable given the size of the original house. I especially enjoyed the art gallery section; it was fascinating. The staff were also wonderfully friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better.
Uraiwan S — Google review
This is the house where Albrecht Dürer once lived, though the exhibition makes it clear that almost no trace of the great master's residency remains - yet you get a good introduction to his life and works. You may even try your hand at creating your own art. Can be crowded at times, as the rooms (and especially stairwells) are small.
Bernd B — Google review
A sight that is a "must-see" if you are visiting Nuremberg. We didn't go inside, but from the outside it looks like an ordinary house, of which there are many in the city center. But it is still special, as it is linked to a famous historical figure.
Ermi M — Google review
We loved the English tour with Agnes, the "wife" of Dürer, who presented a very personal insight of the life of the artist while guiding us through the building!
Florin M — Google review
A very impressive historic building once owned by Albrecht Dürer. Plan at least two hours for a thorough tour. It's worth the time to admire the works of this medieval master.

The Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds in Nuremberg is a striking example of architecture repurposed for learning, offering deep insights into the history of the Nazi regime. Currently undergoing major renovations to enhance accessibility and exhibitions, the renewed spaces is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
Leslie S — Google review
It's my second time visiting this complex and I can highly recommend it. This time, I found out that the museum itself has been closed for several years already due to extensive renovations. Unfortunately this wasn't very clear online and when you get there the signage isn't very clear either - we walked right past the containerized ticket booth because when you walk towards the building from the parking lot, you can't see the signage. However, visiting the special exhibition was worth it. It's immensely important to expose yourself to our history - maybe one day we will learn?

Worth a visit. They are currently renovating and I expect that the updated museum will be excellent. No real signage for the other outdoor paths and buildings. We saw the interim exhibit and it was quite complete. €5 cash to park. Couple this site with the Nuremberg Court Rooms. (Make sure to pay the street parking fee as a whole line of cars got ticketed outside the court room.)

The Toy Museum, also known as Spielzeugmuseum, is a captivating cultural institution located in Nuremberg, Germany. Established in 1971, it offers a delightful journey through the history of toys with its diverse collection from various periods and cultures. The museum serves as an educational resource and nostalgic trip for visitors of all ages.
We went to toy museum with our 3y old son, who totally enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a lot myself. We spent around 2.5h in total. There are 3 levels with all kind of toys. The last level is full of some games that was most fun. Price for adults is reasonable. while the boy didn’t have to pay. Totally worth both money and time.
Maks B — Google review
This museum is great. All kinds of toys make people go back to childhood. Although there are so many toys, there is actually no shop to sell them. I have to say that it protects parents' wallets very well. The children's play area on the third floor is also very good. I will come again.
Keira Z — Google review
Great museum with a lot to see, definitely worth the price, especially with the student discount. It features some interesting exhibitions on toys through the ages, with some focus on the local history of toy production as well as the history of the museum itself. There's also a small part on racist toys which I found insightful and which could have been larger. The top floor has an interactive bit where you can play some games. They are a bit dated and primarily for kids, but the magnetic "air hockey" is cool for all ages :)
Wessel D — Google review
Even though we’re adults, we enjoyed this museum like kids! There are toys of all kinds, from different historical periods. The museum is large, spread over three floors. On the top floor, there’s an area where you can actually play. We had so much fun! We didn’t pay for a ticket — it was donation-based.
Roxana A — Google review
From a purely grown up perspective, the dolls were mostly creepy/funny, and the little dollhouses were really immaculate, detailed and beautiful. It's a nice little museum, refreshing! I don't know if it's interesting for a kid, as most of the things to see are behind glass and higher up.
Vera T — Google review
My visit to the Toy Museum in Nuremberg was full of nostalgia and wonder. The museum is relatively small, but it’s packed with details and rare items from different centuries. What impressed me the most was the variety of exhibits — from traditional dolls to miniature cars, old trains, and even handmade wooden toys. It’s a wonderful place for children who enjoy discovering unusual old toys, but also for adults who can reconnect with their childhood memories through classic pieces. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making the experience both fun and educational. I recommend it for anyone visiting Nuremberg, especially families looking for a light and unique activity after exploring the city.
Our_discoveries5 — Google review
The toy museum pleasantly surprised us with its large collection of both old and more recent toys. The exhibits are beautiful and thoughtfully displayed. It’s also suitable for younger children, thanks to interactive zones where they can engage with the displays. At the end of the tour, there’s a playroom with various board games for kids. A great idea for a family outing – perfect even on a rainy day!
Josef B — Google review
The toy museum was fun. It had four floors of interactive exhibits and antiques. I enjoyed seeing the evolution of toys over time. As an avid D&D player, I especially enjoyed the tin soldiers. It closes early though (5 PM). I would recommend arriving at 2 PM or earlier to see everything- especially if you have little ones.

St. Lorenz Church is a restored Gothic church in Nuremberg, Germany, which suffered severe damage during World War II but was rebuilt. The church features impressive interior artwork and a large organ. Visitors can explore the Nuremberg Old Town with a local expert guide to see four beautiful medieval churches, including St. Lorenz Church, and learn about their unique historical stories.
Absolutely beautiful. Historical cathedrals with their spires, intricate side chapels, and impossibly high ceilings are a must-see for me. I just can't imagine praying in one... I'd be too distracted!

St. Lawrence is the Cathedral Church of Nuremberg with twin bell towers. It is located in Alstadt very center surrounded with many market stalls. Church is free to enter with tall classic Gothic arches inside with very few stained glass. WWII devastations miraculously spared the twin towers which only endured minor damages
Dejan B — Google review
Gothic masterpiece church dominating southern part of old town was built over the period of 2 centuries from 1250 to 1477. It was burnt out at the end of WW2 and reconstructed in 1952. Artwork was preserved in underground bunkers prior to bombings, so wooden rosary with suspended in mid-air figures and stain glass are original to medieval period.

Almost a twin of the St Sebald (might be?) but with it's own architectural marvel. In a large market square with farmer market and many open square restaurants
Don D — Google review
St. Lorenz Church is one of the most important Gothic churches in southern Germany and a defining landmark of Nuremberg’s old town. Built between the mid-13th and 15th centuries, it was originally a Catholic church but became Lutheran after the Reformation in 1525. Its twin towers and richly ornamented façade dominate Lorenzer Platz. The church measures approximately 91 meters in length, 27 meters in width, and its towers rise to about 80 meters high — making it one of the largest churches in Bavaria. We didn’t have the chance to go inside, as a concert was taking place at the time of our visit. However, even through the closed doors, the sheer power of the sound resonating from within was striking — a clear reminder of the building’s scale and extraordinary acoustics.
Anna K — Google review
St. Lorenz dominates Nuremberg’s Old Town with its towering Gothic façade and twin spires that seem to pull the eye upward the moment you step into Lorenzer Platz. The intricate stonework of the main portal and rose window is stunning up close, and the scale of the building makes it impossible to miss while exploring the city center. Originally built in the 13th century, the church was heavily damaged during World War II and carefully reconstructed, a reminder of both destruction and resilience in Nuremberg’s history. Inside, it houses important works of art, including Veit Stoss’ soaring wooden Angelic Salutation and stained glass that dates back to the Middle Ages. Even if you only admire it from the square, St. Lorenz offers one of the most striking examples of German Gothic architecture in the region and connects directly to the layered history of the city.

Hugely impressive historic church! Worth a visit.
Danny E — Google review
St. Lorenz Church in Nuremberg is a breathtaking example of Gothic architecture that left me in awe. The towering twin spires and the intricate façade draw you in, but it’s the interior that truly captivates. The soaring vaulted ceilings, stunning stained glass windows, and the elaborate sculptures create a space that feels both grand and intimate. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are remarkable, making it easy to lose yourself in the beauty and history of the place. St. Lorenz is not just a church; it’s a masterpiece that speaks to the soul.

The Frauenkirche, also known as the Church of Lady, is a Gothic Catholic church in Nuremberg that dates back to 1362. It is one of the most recognizable churches in the city and serves as a backdrop for the famous Christmas Market. The church's pinnacled brick Gothic facade stands out in the Hauptmarkt, Nuremberg's main square. During Christmas, the festive stalls surrounding the church create a magical atmosphere reminiscent of a European holiday movie.
The Frauenkirche in Nuremberg is a stunning 14th-century Brick Gothic church located on the Hauptmarkt. It's best known for its intricate mechanical clock, the Männleinlaufen, which puts on a daily spectacle at noon, drawing crowds to witness its historical parade of figures. The church's interior offers a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful historical details.
Rob P — Google review
It is the church on main city market square, so it’s guaranteed a lot of attention. Built by 1362 on the site of destroyed synagogue on the order of Emperor Charles IV , this church suffered severe damage in Allied bombing raids in 1945. However iconic facade with mechanical clock has survived and rest of the church was restored by 1955. This clock’s performance at 12pm draws daily stream of visitors to Hauptmarkt. That’s probably also my most vivid recollection from city visit.
Mike Z — Google review
The church was built on the site where a synagogue once stood that was destroyed in a pogrom in 1349. The church was built as a chapel for the castle of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV in 1352. The interior has some fine details

The Frauenkirche anchors the Hauptmarkt with its striking Gothic façade, built in the mid-14th century by Emperor Charles IV as an imperial chapel. Its stepped gables and tall tower dominate the square, but what draws the eye is the ornate clock above the entrance. Every day at noon, the Männleinlaufen automaton springs to life, with little figures of prince-electors circling Emperor Charles. It’s equal parts history and spectacle, a reminder that this church was designed to project both devotion and imperial power right in the heart of the city.
E P — Google review
The Frauenkirche, also known as the Church of Our Lady, stands as a remarkable testament to brick Gothic architecture in Nuremberg's historic center. Commissioned by Charles IV in the 14th century, its grand presence on the Hauptmarkt exudes an aura of magnificence over the city skyline. Notable for its intricate sculptures and artworks, including the renowned Tucher Altar, the church's significance extends beyond its architectural splendor. Serving as a venue for imperial ceremonies, it features a modest exterior adorned with coats of arms symbolizing the Holy Roman Empire and other dignitaries. Inside, visitors are greeted by traditional Gothic elements such as a narrow nave and vaulted ceilings, along with treasures from the Middle Ages. Among its most captivating attractions is the Männleinlaufen, a mechanical clock dating back to the 15th century, which comes to life at noon with a procession commemorating the Golden Bull of 1356. Despite undergoing Lutheran conversion in the 16th century, the Frauenkirche continues to enchant visitors with its rich history and cultural significance, making it a must-visit destination in Nuremberg.

The Memorium Nuremberg Trials is a museum and educational center located in Nuremberg, Germany. It stands as a tribute to the historic Nuremberg Trials, which were a series of military tribunals conducted after World War II to bring Nazi war criminals to justice for their involvement in the Holocaust and other atrocities. The museum is situated above the original courtroom where the trials took place.
Must visit places. We spend around 3-4 hours going through the exhibition. The presentation in room 600 was great as well. At the end of the exhibition hall there is a book that contains all the information. You can either walk and go through the exhibition content one by one (including an audio guide) or just take a seat and read the book.
Abishek K — Google review
A beautifully designed museum with excellent use of audio commentary. It is definitely worth a visit. The museum is located in the very building where high-ranking Nazi officers were sentenced, which creates a unique and powerful atmosphere. The exhibition extends beyond the courtroom itself, featuring clear information panels and various interactive elements. For students, the museum is also very affordable. I highly recommend it.

The Memorium Nuremberg Trials is one of those places that really stays with you. The exhibits are incredibly well put together—informative, respectful, and very detailed without feeling overwhelming. Standing in the actual courtroom where the trials took place is surreal and gives you a real sense of the history and importance of what happened there. It’s a solemn but essential visit, and I left with a much deeper understanding of the events and their impact. Absolutely worth visiting if you’re in Nuremberg.
Jack F — Google review
I learned a lot about the logistics of preparing these trials at a time when there where no protocola for this as there was no precedent about wars like this. Very intersting and relevant history for visitora from abroad, do not miss it. there is also an interactive video on the hall where it all happened, is very educational and 3 D, check for schedules so you have chance to see it.
A E — Google review
Visiting the Memorium Nürnberger Prozesse and stepping into Courtroom 600 was an experience that carried real weight for me. Having read and stufied extensively about the trials and World War II history, standing in the very room where leading figures of the Nazi regime were held accountable was more powerful than words can capture. For me, the Courtroom itself was the highlight; the atmosphere, the history embedded in those walls, and the sense of justice that still resonates decades later. The exhibition leading up to it is thoughtfully curated, and for anyone less familiar with the history, it provides crucial context about the crimes, the defendants, and the lasting legacy of international law shaped here. Even with prior knowledge, it deepened the impact of finally seeing the space in person. This is not just a museum visit, it’s a profound reminder of accountability, justice, and the weight of history.

I didn’t schedule sufficient time for this one which was a mistake. At least half day is needed to allow for a proper look of these exquisite collections. I was amazed but had to glance these marvelous pieces briefly. I will come back if I get a chance to be in Nuremberg again. The staff is very nice and friendly, given that there was less than two hours before closing time, she specifically clarified where the masterpieces were located 😃. But still, every piece is just marvelous.

The astronomy section and the painting exhibits are out of this world. Make sure you pay the entrance fee at the venue itself and dont book online as the vendors apply a 60 pc markup on the entry fee.

Bring your walking shoes, this museum is enormous! Housed in a beautifully preserved former monastery, the Germanisches Nationalmuseum is packed with centuries of history and art. There’s so much to see that you could easily spend all day wandering through its halls. They have convenient lockers for purses and coats (it costs just one euro, which you get back when you return the key), and there's a cozy café downstairs if you need a break before continuing your visit. And of course, you’ll find the world’s oldest surviving terrestrial globe here, Martin Behaim’s “Erdapfel,” a must-see piece of history. Absolutely worth the visit!

This one of those places where you could lose an entire day and still feel like you’ve only skimmed the surface. It’s not just a museum; it’s a labyrinth of European culture, stretching from the Middle Ages to the modern day. Walking past glittering suits of armor, finely crafted weapons, and medieval sculpture, I kept getting pulled deeper into the collections. One moment I was in a Gothic cloister, the next in a Baroque hall surrounded by paintings, then suddenly standing in front of contemporary art. What struck me most was the sheer variety: a 16th-century tiled stove covered in vivid detail, a carved sleigh with a grotesque face, entire chapels reconstructed stone by stone, and galleries that shift seamlessly from religious devotion to modern abstraction. It felt like wandering through centuries of human creativity under one roof. For me, it was overwhelming in the best possible way; a reminder that history isn’t just dates and events, but objects people lived with, prayed before, fought in, and admired. If you enjoy art, history, or simply being surprised around every corner, this museum is a must. Just be prepared: you won’t be in and out quickly.

We arrived at 17:10 and they suggested us to wait 20 more minutes because starting with 17:30 the entry is free. We had only one hour because they were hosting an event or sth like that. The museum is big and you need at least 2 hours. Anyway, it was a great experience!

The Germanisches Nationalmuseum is a true ode to German history and culture, and well worth exploring. From the grand armoury, filled with cannons, suits of armour, and medieval weaponry through to the intricate carvings and religious artefacts, it’s incredibly easy to lose track of time wandering its halls. One thing that really stood out to me, being English, was the number of artefacts relating to England’s patron saint. Yes, that famous knight of Turkish origin who supposedly slew a dragon and became the protector of England (despite never setting foot in the country) is also celebrated in medieval German society. Absolutely fascinating. This museum also might answer the question, what inspired Starbucks to use a two tailed mermaid as a logo... for those who know, well done. For those who don't, check the pictures. You're welcome So if you ever find yourself passing through Nuremberg with a free afternoon, make a stop. It’s a brilliant way to connect with the deep and layered history of this nation.

Nestled in the heart of Nuremberg, the Schöner Brunnen, or Beautiful Fountain, is a stunning landmark that captures the essence of Gothic architecture. Erected between 1385 and 1396, this impressive structure stands at an awe-inspiring height of 19 meters and resembles a grand church spire. The fountain features four tiers adorned with intricate gilding and showcases 40 vibrant figures that embody various aspects of medieval life under the Holy Roman Empire.
A charming little attraction — be sure to find the small golden ring and turn it clockwise with your left hand; good luck will come your way.

The Schöner Brunnen, rising out of Nuremberg’s Hauptmarkt, is anything but subtle. Built in the late 14th century, this Gothic spire-shaped fountain was designed to embody the ideals of the Holy Roman Empire, with tiers of painted and gilded figures representing prophets, philosophers, church fathers, and rulers. Its intricate tracery and statues make it look less like a fountain and more like a cathedral tower that somehow landed in the middle of the marketplace. Up close, the colors and gilding catch the light, making the whole structure seem alive against the backdrop of the square. Surrounded by the bustle of market stalls and shoppers, it feels almost surreal, a piece of medieval symbolism standing shoulder to shoulder with everyday commerce. And tucked into its wrought-iron railing is a little quirk that locals love: two brass rings, one gold-colored and one dark, which you can spin for good luck. Tourists line up to give them a twist, but even if you skip the superstition, it’s a reminder that Nuremberg’s history is always layered—serious ideals on the surface, playful rituals just beneath.

Schoner Brunner is the most spectacular fountain you've ever seen. Built as a 14th century Gothic tower, it towers to high above you, it's hard to see that it's really a fountain. This is on the north edge of the Main Marketplace Square. Many colorful stalls ply their wares on market day.

Weißgerbergasse, also known as Tanners Lane, is a picturesque street in Nuremberg that offers a glimpse into the city's medieval past. Lined with around twenty well-preserved half-timbered houses of various colors, it has been hailed as one of the best-preserved medieval streets in the area. Despite the heavy air raids during World War II, Weißgerbergasse survived unscathed, allowing visitors to admire these historic buildings in their original state.
A very typical street showcasing classic German architecture, very photogenic and beautiful. The day I visited, it was empty, but I’m not sure how it is on other dates. It’s definitely a great spot to take photos and videos.

Weißgerbergasse is an photogenic tourist street in Nuremburg just north of Maxplatz. What you find here are nearly 20 half-timbered houses which date back to the Medieval period. The houses have been well preserved and restored after WWII air raids. A walk down Weißgerbergasse provides visitors a glimpse back into the Middle Ages with delightful houses on both sides of the cobblestone street. These would have been occupied by tanners in centuries past. These days you'll find restaurants, bars and galleries filling the houses along Weißgerbergasse. Even if you are not in the mood for a meal or shoppings. A quick walk up Weißgerbergasse is well worth making time for during visits to Nuremburg.

Ah, Weißgerbergasse, or the Tanners' Lane, is a narrow, cobblestone street in Nuremberg that can only be described as a walk through history. This charming alley is nestled in the Old Town and offers a parade of well-preserved half-timbered houses, dating back to the medieval era. It's a quintessential example of Franconian architecture and a relic of a bygone age, where tanners once labored. The lane is within walking distance from the Hauptmarkt and not far from the city's key historic landmarks, like the Nuremberg Castle. It's easily accessible by foot or via the city's efficient public transport system. It's a must-see for any visitor keen on understanding Nuremberg's layered history, beyond its 20th-century narratives. Walking down Weißgerbergasse is like stepping into a fairy tale, only this one is etched in the very real chronicles of time. It offers a peaceful sojourn from the busier parts of the city and provides the perfect backdrop for those keen on photography. All in all, a visit to Weißgerbergasse offers an intimate experience of Nuremberg's rich past, packaged in a quiet street that stands as a tribute to the city's resilience and historical importance.

Established in 1970 to commemorate Albrecht Durer's 500th birthday, this craftsmen's courtyard was initially intended to be temporary but has become a permanent attraction due to its popularity.
Very nice small place which really gives you an insight on medieval times.

The atmosphere itself felt authentically European, making the experience even more enjoyable.

The vendors were all so pleasant and helpful. Alot of the Christmas Markets tend to have duplicate items, but you're guaranteed something different and creative here. I especially loved the little pewter shop where I miraculously found a tiny, pewter tooth to give to my dentist as a thank you gift for her great care. I mean, that's pretty unexpected and unique.

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to discover and explore this great church with #Littlefeet. On the occasion of a choir trip to Nuremberg, #Littlefeet and its choir were able to give a small concert in the Sebalduskirche or St. Sebaldkirche during a prayer service together with the Nuremberg Youth Choir. Really impressive! This church is a masterpiece! We were even allowed into the choir of angels and the choir sang the Our Father high up there, so that the visitors down in the nave turned around in amazement and delight ... Before the choir sang a few songs in the nave in front of the altar, we were able to experience the impressive organ. And for those who missed it: Outside next to the entrance is a plaque stating that Johann Pachelbel worked here as an organist from 1695 to 1706. It was a wonderful time in one of the most beautiful churches in Bavaria. The wonderfully painted windows, the altar and the tomb of St. Sebald in particular impress even people who have nothing to do with church culture or the Christian faith. Thanks for this wonderful experience to everyone who made it possible. Thumbs up!

Absolutely stunning; hands down one of the most beautiful churches I’ve visited in Europe. The twin spires dominate the skyline, but it’s the details that stay with you: Romanesque roots blending seamlessly with soaring Gothic architecture, the intricate stone carvings over the portals, and the rich play of light through centuries-old stained glass. Inside, the space is breathtaking. The high vaulted ceilings lift your eyes upward, while the elaborate tomb of St. Sebald, crafted in dark bronze with remarkable detail, anchors the interior with reverence. Each chapel holds its own story, from altarpieces to frescoes, giving you a sense of both faith and history woven together. What struck me most was the atmosphere; it feels both grand and intimate, a living part of Nuremberg’s heritage rather than just a monument. This is a place to linger, to take in the artistry, and to appreciate how much care and devotion went into creating and preserving it over the centuries.

One of the most beautiful churches in Nuremberg. One of the two slender bell towers can be visited, in a guided tour(unfortunately, the guide spoke only German).From the top you have a wonderful 360 degrees view of the town. Take care, there are a lot of wooden narrow and steep stairs and the scheme of the tour it's not one of the best I've ever seen. There are groups that climb and, in the same time, other descend. And all of this on that narrow steps where, in some points, only a person barely can pass.

In interesting heritage building in Nuremburg is that of Wienstadel located on the northern bank of the Pegnitz at Maxplatz. This is one of the city's most famous architectural buildings.

It was used then a hospice and place to feed lepers in the Middle Ages. In later became an imperial city wine storage location, giving the building its present name - Weinstadel (Wine Storage). Heavily damaged during WWII bombing raids, it was reconstructed in the 1950s providing the version of Weinstadel that you can see today. Good views can be found from Maxbrücke as well as the small street that runs just to the west of this important heritage building.

Ehekarussell, also known as the 'Marriage Merry-Go-Round,' is a controversial bronze fountain located near the White Tower in Nuremberg. Created by sculptor Jurgen Weber in 1984, this large and intriguing sculpture depicts various stages of courtship and marriage over six scenes, based on a poem by 16th-century poet Hans Sachs.
Inside the medieval walls of the city, between past and present, the “Marriage-Merry-Go-Round" fountain from 1984, created in 4 years by Jürgen Weber. Inspired by the ironic medieval poem of Hans Sachs “Das bittersüße ehlich Leben”, narrating the joys and sorrows of life as a couple that can be summed up in these stanzas : “She is my virtue and my vice, She is my wound and also my plaster”.

I definitely recommend stopping by, especially around sunset when the lighting makes it even more magical.

“Marriage Carousel” is one of the few modern artworks that I liked from its first looks. Follows pretty closely 16th century poem “The Bittersweet Married Life” by Hans Sachs that stayed relevant across centuries to nowadays depicting ups and downs of married life. Sculptures on the fountain make the story to look more grotesque, but the original poem was humorous too…

Each column and panel is in German and one other language representing the universality of Human Rights. There is a information panel as well listing each of the 27 columns individually with its name and associated country/language.

This is one of those places that makes you slow down and reflect. Designed by artist Dani Karavan in 1993, the long walkway of white columns carries the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and other languages, turning a modern urban space into a quiet but powerful statement. It’s especially meaningful given Nuremberg’s past as the site of NS rallies and later the Nuremberg Trials; walking here feels like a bridge between dark history and a commitment to human dignity. For me, it wasn’t just a monument but a reminder that rights are only as strong as our willingness to defend them.

A lovely street with 27 round pillars, each with an article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, each in a different language. It's a nice challenge to see how many of the 27 languages you can recognise. At the north end of the street, on the wall of one of the buildings, is a translation of each and what language it is written in.

Pegnitz River is a significant natural attraction in Nuremberg, carving through the city's Old Town and offering stunning views. The riverfront is enchanting and provides some of the best photo opportunities in Nuremberg. Additionally, the mayor of Pegnitz is dedicated to enhancing the community with events like Waldstock and Gregori, making it a beautiful city to visit. Visitors can also enjoy activities like canoeing between Velden and Hersbruck along the river.

(Translated by Google) The Pegnitz is an approximately 115 km long river in Franconia that flows through the old town of Nuremberg. In Fürth, it joins the Rednitz. After the confluence, it becomes the Regnitz, which then flows through Bamberg and finally empties into the Main River. The photos show the Pegnitz in the old town of Nuremberg. (Original) Die Pegnitz ist ein ca. 115 km langer Fluss in Franken, der die Altstadt von Nürnberg durchfließt. In Fürth vereinigt er sich mit der Rednitz.

Weißgerbergasse in Nuremberg is a charming cobbled street lined with well-preserved half-timbered townhouses that date back to the 16th and 17th centuries. This picturesque pedestrian lane, located in the Old Town, was once home to tanners, giving it its name which means "white tanner" in German. The street offers a glimpse into medieval life with its vibrant facades and cobblestone pathways.
Enjoyable place for taking a walk!

Zeppelinfeld, also known as Zeppelin Field, is a significant historical site located in Nuremberg, Germany. It was once part of the Nazi Party Rally Grounds and served as a primary venue for the infamous annual Nazi Party rallies during the 1930s. The monolithic grandstand, designed by architect Albert Speer, stands as a chilling reminder of this dark period in history.
Wow unbelievable place. To stand there and imagine the thousands and thousands of people there listening to Hitlers speech. The place is used for a lot of events now like car racing, concerts and all sorts of things.

I only give it 3 stars because it's under construction and we couldn't really visit or take a proper look. There were no signs in English or anything for you to know beyond the very basic of what happened there.
Guilherme C — Google review
Amazing & somewhat surreal to see where it all happened but a lot of the Zeppelin Field is off limits at the moment whilst they make it safe & improve access. Plans for the future (frequent opening of the Golden Hall etc) sound quite exciting though & might just might warrant a revisit. So the Nazi presentation in town is in a state of flux currently, with the museum at the Congress Hall also under renovation. We opted to just walk the rally grounds, which are vast, the city of Nuremberg has identified 23 relevant sites & installed information boards at those sites. After 7 miles walking & very tired legs, we still managed to visit ‘only’ 18 of these!

A hugely important site to understand the history of twentieth century Europe.

We all know what this place is about and to be honest I'm not sure why it's even there right now because it seems abandoned (probably on purpose?), there's hardly something that explains what happened there. I know there might be some shame there and stuff but if that's the case then tear it down and that's it. History should be learned, whether it is good or bad (so we learn from it and avoid repeating it) and these landmarks help a great deal. As it is right now it's not really worth visiting.

Just a 10 minute train ride from Nuremberg main station and a short walk at the other end (Nurnberg Frankenstadion) makes this an easy historical landmark to visit. It's an awe inspiring place. It's so huge that it boggles the mind to imagine 200,000 people there. I visited around 10:00am. There was virtually no-one there which made the visit even more eerie. Unfortunately due to extensive restoration work going on (as at 14 Aug 2025), access to the Ehrentribune was extremely limited. You can get onto the steps either side, but not onto the main central balcony where the principal dignitaries would stand. Even so, well worth a visit to this powerful monument. Entrance is free.

A typical Bavarian restaurant, the Christmas decorations really added to the atmosphere. The food is good, but the portions are very small for the price. The apple strudel, on the other hand, was horrible: it tasted like a frozen one, was half-baked and chewy. The service is fast but not very polite. Overall, not a very good experience.

Really liked the atmosphere, warm and inviting. The food was pretty good, not great. I had the Krustenschaufele (roasted pork shoulder) which was very tender and delicious. 5 stars. My wife meal was just ok. The Vanilla ice cream with Warm cherry sauce was very nice. What really stood out was our waiter Gregor. Unlike most service in Germany, he was very attentive, explained the menu and meals to us, and stopped to chat after the meal asking about our trip. That earned Gregor and American sized tip.

Service and ambiance was great! We were a bit disappointed with both the food and beer but that might be subjective. We had no redervation and were seated spontaneously and quickly. While eating we were left undisturbed to enjoy our meal - which was a nice surprise for introverts who dispise the constant check-ins mid-bite 😝 Steak seemed off unfortunately.. maybe an unlucky piece, was very fatty and oily but not in a juicy/full way. Staff was very friendly, no complaints. The price was adequate given the location. Tasty salad with herbs, salt and vinegar! Potato salad was nice too.

Really cool tour. English speakers beware that you must rent the audio guide as the tour guide will only speak in German. It's a very interesting tour as the lighting and preservation was really well done. I ended up pushing more numbers on the audio guide and had more information than if I had only used the numbers the guide provided. I also had a small heart attack as I deviated for the group and I came across an Halloween prop of a woman covered in blood in a wheel chair with tape in her mouth in a very dark corner. Fun times.

Nürnberg Zoo, established in 1912, is one of the largest and oldest zoos in Europe. It is located just a short tram ride east of the city center amidst lush forests in a former sandstone quarry. The zoo houses over 2,000 animals from around 300 species within natural exhibits. Visitors can observe a variety of wildlife including ibex, lions, zebras, polar bears, dolphins, elephants and more in spacious enclosures surrounded by shady trees.
Wonderful Family Day at Tiergarten Nürnberg! We had a fantastic time visiting the Tiergarten in Nürnberg with our family! The park is beautifully laid out, with plenty of space to walk and explore. We saw so many animals – from lions and giraffes to penguins and dolphins – and every exhibit was well-maintained and engaging. Our kids absolutely loved the experience and especially enjoyed the dolphin show and the farm animal area where they could get a bit closer to the animals. The park is also very clean and has good food options and shaded areas for breaks. I highly recommend booking tickets in advance, especially during weekends or holidays – it saves time and guarantees entry. A must-visit if you’re in the area and looking for a fun, educational day out with children!

My wife and I visit the Tiergarten for many years at least once a week. It’s easily one of the most beautiful, most impressive zoos in all of Europe. Animals like the harpy, the Mishmi takins, the mossy frogs and the blue tree monitor are endangered species and not easily found in other European zoos. The habitats are intricately conceived to resemble the natural spaces of animals and meet their needs and preferences. Wandering across the vast landscape zoo is simply one of the most entertaining and informative adventures Nuremberg offers.

The zoo is located on the mountainside so there is a lot of hiking involved in visiting it. It's also really big and has lots of trees, sometimes you feel like going through a forest only to reach another animal enclosure. There are also some rare animals here like polar bears. The only problem I had with it was the program, the feeding times overlap with other points of the program. I guess it's to have people decide so none of them are really crowded and for the people to avoid running around the zoo, but if you are here as a tourist it kinda sucks since you won't be able to see them all unless you arrive here early in the morning at stay till 4pm

The Historischer Kunstbunker is a historic site located beneath Nuremberg Castle, consisting of mazelike tunnels that were repurposed during World War II to protect and preserve precious works of art. These medieval rock-cut cellars were transformed into a climate-controlled bunker to safeguard art from the destruction of war. Despite the destructive nature of the Third Reich during the war, significant efforts were made to preserve art, with climatized cells being constructed well before the outbreak of war.
Wow you hear about the stolen art and the war all your life then finally there to see it in person. This is only one area that some of the carves kept but still was interesting with where it was located and how much art was actually there. Also the fact that such rare art was kept there was very interesting. There is a short video in the vault as well. This is a really interesting exhibition. One of the best I have visited.

Axel P — Google review
One of the most fascinating places in Nuremberg, an underground warren of rock-cut passageways that once sheltered the city’s greatest treasures during World War II. From Dürer paintings to medieval stained glass and sculptures, priceless works of art were hidden here to survive the bombing raids that leveled much of the city above. The air is cool and damp, the walls rough, and yet the exhibits bring to life a story of foresight and preservation that’s as moving as it is unexpected. Walking through the tunnels, you pass machinery for air circulation, bunk rooms for guards, and displays showing how artworks were crated and stored. It feels less like a museum and more like stepping into a secret vault where culture itself was under protection. One detail I loved is how they show black-and-white photos of masterpieces lined up underground, waiting out the war in wooden crates and makeshift shelves. It’s surreal to realize that the same corridors you’re standing in once cradled works now hanging in world-class museums. The Kunstbunker isn’t just about the past, it’s about the lengths a city will go to keep its identity alive, even in its darkest hours.

Whilst historically very important, the negative review is due to the lack of transparency and/or clear information for visitors. You need to buy tickets through a machine, at the main entrance, where the main door is shut. Only after tickets are bought you will find the small letters informing of the mandarory guided tour, in some 75 minutes from purchase! Very disappointing to say the least. What if you cannot wait? Check the website before visiting. On the positive end, the fact that we were lucky with our guide. A knowledgeable local historian with perfect British English, which made the wait to be worth it. Despite very interesting, Nuremberg is one of the least tourist friendly cities in Germany. I've visited most of this lovely country, north to south, several times over the years and will always come back, but never to Nuremberg. Parking is a challenge outside the city historic center. Could not visit the courts where WWII trials took place due to the lack of parking!

The building that houses the museum is interesting and has a lot of concrete used with the construction. The modern art did not impress me much. Conceptual art. 70's, 80's. etc. when art became a commodity in the hands of investors. The artists learned to do outrageous things, empty buckets of paint on white canvasses. And then the money started flowing Oh well.... Wondering through the galleries sometimes you see something of interest

We saw "The Grand Hotel Paar" temporary exhibit and it was a blast. I only wish the art pieces in the permanent collections had more explanations in English instead of just QR codes.

Not sure about this place, the architecture definitely is interesting in mixing the old with the new and reflecting the city walls in its all glass outside but the interior is rather empty and what is there put on display is ... not that much and not that interesting. I admit I am hardly a fan of modern art but even so I expected a bit more "meat" let's say

An interesting place to dive into different renawable materials and design products. Great new solutions. The only minus is there is no English language translation of the arts information next to the German (which became a regular practice in other museums in non-english speaking countries). Although the google translation camera can be handy in this case, it's not always comfortable and somehow affects the whole experience.
Aleksandar B — Google review
The exhibition items were very interesting but for such a huge building there was not that much to see. Also if you are a non German speaking person it may be quite exhausting to translate all the descriptions or constantly look on the tour guide page trying to find the pieces you are looking at. I think there should be English translation provided for each piece otherwise you are spending the whole time on your phone and not enjoying the museum. Big minus for me.

The Nuremberg Christmas Market, located in the Old Town, kicks off the festive season with its enchanting display of Christmas lights and decorations. Renowned not only in Bavaria but also across Germany and internationally, it is celebrated as one of the most stunning Christmas markets in the country. Visitors are captivated by the beautiful architecture and ambiance of this market that comes alive during the holiday season.

I visited this christmas market because I heard about it so much. After I visited, I didnot really see the reason it is so popular. It was another normal christmas market. In fact, even the Zurich christmas market has some exiciting things to do for kids ans family. I visited this 2nd time just to check if I really missed anything. But, no I didnot. Overall, it is another good european christmas market.

Restaurant
Located near the Sebalduskirche, Bratwursthäusle has been serving original Nurnberger Rostbratwurste since 1313. The sausages are cooked over a wood fire, giving them a distinct beechwood flavor. This historic establishment also houses its own butcher shop where Nuremberg specialties are freshly prepared daily.
I visited this restaurant twice in two days. The roasted pork shoulder is a must-try—crispy skin like popcorn and flavorful gravy. On my second visit, I had the Nuremberg sausages with sauerkraut and potato salad, all delicious. Sitting outside in mid-August was perfect. Friendly staff and great service. A place you shouldn’t miss when in Nuremberg.

A truly over-rated restaurant, food and service sucks. Guess it’s popular because it’s on the main street. We tried 2 other restaurants that are within 1 minute away and they were so much better! The soup was so salty that we left it after just a spoonful. The bread was so hard. The pork shoulder was ok but not the best around. We did not try the dessert since we didn’t like the food. We went at 6pm and they closed the outside umbrella sitting area, packed everyone at the upper deck. We do not recommend this restaurant to anyone!

The Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, built in the early 1900s, is a significant historical site as it was where the last WWII war-crime trials took place. It is one of the most renowned attractions in Nuremberg and offers an affordable visit to explore its captivating stories and architecture. The palace also houses the Memorium Nuremberg Trials, featuring an extensive exhibit that provides insight into the tribunals of Nazi officials and their influence on international criminal law.
A historical place that must be visited. Room 600 brings you back to the origin of international criminal law and to the ideals of justice and fight against impunity that have forged modern society. By sitting on the benches, you can feel the importance of what happened inside those walls. The exhibition is very informative. It could be even more attractive if it had interactive material.
Zorba S — Google review
We really enjoyed exploring the Palace of Justice Museum, we visited Courtroom 600 and the exhibition of the Nuremberg trials. The entrance fee is €7.50 for an adult ticket, which is a great price because you get so much from this museum. Included with the entrance fee is an audio guide programmed to your chosen language. We were lucky in that there was a media exhibition starting close to when we visited, this provided lots of information and added context for the exhibition on the floor above. With the exhibition, you can either read the information if your German is good enough, or listen to the audio guide. We learnt so much and it’s important to remember this time in history. The museum lost a star in this rating since one of the ticket desk attendants did not seem to approve of my butchered German.

It is considered the oldest bratwurst restaurant in the world, with a tradition of hand-crafted sausages made according to authentic recipes.

Despite the satisfying food and the fascinating historical atmosphere, the waitress was completely unfriendly. She did not like first amount of which we had ordered, and she asked several times: "Is that all?" (This did not mean: "Is that all, What did you order?"). The food was again served in a rude manner. When it was time to pay, she pulled out the credit card reader. She covered the card touching area with the paper in her hand and showed the screen which showing the waitress tips menu “a kind of forced “ us for a tip, by pointing to the area on the device. I can say, that there are dozens of similar complaints about her on Asian social media accounts. I believe, such a historic place could be better off with much more professional and customer-oriented waiters. Waiters means not only, To take orders and bring food to the table; it is also about, To give the customer the feeling, welcome to be here. Even in a hospital doctor try to calm the patients and give them a sense of good vibe . But to be treated like that by a waiter in a restaurant . It was absolutely unpleasant. Even me, who usually doesn't comment any bad things and try share positive things always , I feel this time to let the know people what can be waiting for them with her , and there is absolutely no misunderstanding or anything like that. It is completely rude and intended waiters behavior.

We arrived in Germany after an exhausting train ride from France and were very excited to have some authentic German food, and we were not disappointed! We walked in and were seated upstairs either a view of below and immediately, a very friendly gentleman offered to assist us in ordering what was good on the menu. He was so charismatic and helpful, catered several different dishes and we throughly enjoyed every single dish. From the yummy potato soup, refreshing salad, cheese dip with bread, a main dish of large and small brats and pork tenderloin with herb butter, it was all so delicious. We raved over the potato salad as well and are already trying g to figure out how to recreate the dish for our family back in the US. We indulged in the apple strudel and the plum parfait and found those delightful. We can’t say enough about the food served and the service. We have to leave tomorrow for our next stop in Europe and are excited to go to our last dinner in Germany again at this lovely establishment. Will recommend to anyone 100%.

Tourist review: Historic venue to eat Nuremberg bratwurst - Zum Gulden Stern serves delicious bratwurst and beer! Came here and got the mixed platter from the grill with the large & small bratwursts, pork medallions and a side of sauerkraut. All the food was absolutely delicious - the small bratwursts were super tasty especially and the sauerkraut was the best I’ve ever had! The dark draconian beer was also one of the best beers I’ve had in Germany - highly recommend. The restaurant itself is also very honestly and cosy, although the portions of food are a little on the smaller side. Would definitely come back!

Excellent place for team events! We started with the escape room located in the cellar. It’s quite spacious that 8 of us can all move freely inside and the temperature is also comfortable. The content is pretty interesting, we chose the one related to historical story and everyone was enjoyed. After passing the game, we got Nürnberg original red beer as reward. There was a staff staying with us, who gave us a detail review in the end, and of course if you need help you can raise your hand at any time. After that we went to the bar for the dinner. Food and beer were very good, and we also tasted special season drink called “winter Wärmer”. Waitress were super friendly and nice. We had a wonderful time there.

A great and well located brewery in the heart of Nuremberg. A bit stuffy for an interior, and the service staff didn’t seem to like Americans very much.

The Mittelalterliche Lochgefängnisse, located beneath the city hall, is a 14th-century dungeon with 12 prison cells and a torture chamber. It is one of the largest medieval dungeons in the world that has been preserved. Visitors can explore this historical site through guided tours, gaining insights into the justice system and experiencing the dark and cramped conditions prisoners endured from the 14th to the 19th centuries.
A fascinating tour of the dungeons under the Rathaus in Nuremberg. We found the English speaking tour excellent with our guide's English really good and an appropriate sense of humour. There are a fair amount of stairs as the tour goes underground. Book ahead - the maximum is 20 for each tour and don't be late - the tour starts at the time stated. It is suitable for all ages and there's no people jumping out and going boo!
Alex F — Google review
I recommend purchasing your ticket online as it is impossible to buy it on the spot. Although there is a qr code that you can scan at the meeting point (on a small plaque on the wall of the old city hall, very inconspicuous), each tour is limited to 20 people so advance booking is still the best option. There is only one English guided tour at 18.00. If you end up in a German guided tour and don't understand much German, tell your guide at the beginning - - they will give you an audio guide. It doesn't give as much as information as the guide themselves, but at least you won't be completely lost. The tour takes about 50 minutes during which one goes through a series of dungeon chambers with the guide. It is a very cool place; one can learn quite some history down there.

Reason I’m giving it a 1/5 star review is strictly because of the website. The website for me was in English, there was no option to choose the language you want the tour in. I even left a note in the comments section saying that I speak English. There was no communication on their end to help out a traveler with little to no German, so I had to sit through a tour and try to google translate it (with bad reception in the dungeon) - waste of €10. However on the bright side, the guide seemed engaging and other folks were laughing. Would’ve probably been a great tour if I spoke German but as of right now I’d like a refund.

Interesting visit to Nuremberg's medieval dungeons! It is a short guided tour. Guide had an amazing sense of humour. The dungeons were well-preserved as they were underground. Buy your tickets online - you can find the QR code right outside the rathaus main door. The guide picks you up at the same spot too (not inside the rathaus). Highly recommended for a different experience from the highly manicured, beautiful town of Nuremberg. There are some slightly steep stairways, ceilings were low so this might not be suitable for someone with bad knees.

Frauentor, located in Nuremberg's Old Town, is a historic tower that was once the main gate to the city. It is just one of 128 towers from the city wall and has been reconstructed to its medieval architecture. The area around Frauentor Tower, known as Handwerkerhof, showcases local artisans and offers a variety of activities including museums, street food, shops, and restaurants.
The Konigstraße is the most important access to the historic center with the the pedestrian underpass “Königstorpassage” with commercial activities that connect it to the railway station and urban transport. The Königstorturms is one of the 4 most important towers of the city walls. The current circular shape is due to works carried out in 1558. Previously it had a quadrilateral shape and was known by the name of “Frauentorturm”, which is still currently in use. The “Königstor” instead was a gate from 1386 with a drawbridge that allowed one to cross the city walls. Between them there is the "Handwerkerhof"picturesque and pleasant 1970 reconstruction of an ancient artisan district obviously with bars.

Schloss Neunhof, located near Nuremberg, offers a unique glimpse into the summer lifestyle of noble families from the 16th to 19th century. The well-preserved suburban estate features a picturesque manor house with fortifications, a gate, moat and drawbridge. Although the castle is currently undergoing renovations and closed to visitors, its attractive garden remains open for leisurely strolls.
Historic castle with good audio explanations, access and audio free of charge

Nice place, but you need max 20 minutes for park and that's it. Castle was closed.

Ricardo A — Google review
I went there on the weekend and the view is okay, but the place is closed for renovations and the garden will only open in April. So I couldn't visit it. I'd say that in the current situation it's not worth the visit if you are only a short time in Nürnberg. But if you live here than it might be worth it for the view.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, it's still not open to visitors, but renovation work is progressing well, so that by September 2025, the finished roof will be visible from the palace gardens without scaffolding. The palace is the last remaining manor house around Nuremberg of what was once more than 100. Neunhof Palace is considered one of the best-preserved patrician palaces of the Middle Ages. (Original) Leider weiterhin nicht zu besichtigen, aber die Sanierungsarbeiten kommen gut voran, sodass man im September 2025 schon das fertige Dach ohne Gerüste vom Schlossgarten aus sehen kann. Das Schloss ist der letzte Herrensitz rund um Nürnberg von einst mehr als 100. Schloss Neunhof gilt als eines der besterhaltenen Patrizierschlösser des Mittelalters.

(Translated by Google) For such a small place, the castle garden is very beautiful. A quiet spot with plenty of benches for relaxing, reading, and recharging your batteries. I can't say much about the castle itself, as it's currently being renovated. (Original) Für so einen kleinen Ort ist der Schlossgarten sehr schön. Ein ruhiger Ort mit vielen Bänken zum Ausruhen, Lesen, Energie tanken. Zu dem Schloss selbst kann ich nicht viel sagen, da es gerade renoviert wird.

Bounce Luggage Storage - 24/7 Beautiful Fountain is a fantastic option for travelers exploring the historic market square in Nuremberg. While the majestic fountain, built in the 14th century and reminiscent of Gothic architecture, no longer functions, it still captivates visitors with its charm. Surrounding this iconic site are brass rings believed to grant wishes when turned.
Very simple, easy and affordable. Hotel service was lovely and helpful.

Kaiserburg-Museum is a must-visit landmark in Nuremberg, located on a hill just above the old town. It's easily accessible and offers a stunning view of the city. The museum houses an impressive armory with weapons from different historical periods, making it a fascinating visit for history enthusiasts. Additionally, visitors can explore the beautiful courtyard within the museum grounds.
Cheap and with a lot to offer. Not only can you go through the very old chapel and royal rooms, the exhibits take you on a great journey through history that touches on the castle itself, stages of the Holy Roman Empire, fireworks, weapons, wars and art.

The Kaiserburg-Museum inside Nuremberg’s Imperial Castle brings the city’s medieval importance to life. Spread across historic castle halls, the exhibits cover imperial power, daily life, and military history. Highlights include ornate weapons and armor, intricate scientific instruments, detailed castle models, and treasures like gilded chalices. Frescoes and decorated ceilings add to the atmosphere, while the siege weapons on display illustrate the castle’s defensive role. It’s a well-curated museum that complements the architecture of the Kaiserburg itself, giving visitors context and depth to what they see outside.

Bridge
Henkersteg, also known as Hangman's Bridge, is a charming wooden bridge in Nuremberg with a fascinating history. Built in 1457, it gets its name from the nearby tower where the city's executioner lived during medieval times. The placement of the tower on the outer edge of the original city walls was due to superstitions of that era, which prohibited the executioner from having contact with honorable citizens.

Nestled in Nuremberg, the Kongresshalle stands as a striking reminder of its tumultuous past. Originally conceived by architect Albert Speer during the 1930s under the Nazi regime, this vast structure was designed to host grand gatherings for the National Socialist Party. Although it remains unfinished, its imposing architecture evokes a sense of both awe and reflection on history's darker chapters. Today, this monumental site has transformed into a versatile event venue that accommodates various cultural activities such as conferences and concerts.
It is big, scary and makes you feel small. We didn't go inside to see the photos and documents. In case you have time, I would still suggest to see them. It is a part of history after all. The building is being renovated and hopefully, it will be actively used again.
Sinem S — Google review
A historical site that reminds us of what the world has gone through in the dark days. An unbelievably huge place, bigger even than the Colosseum, this was the original gathering place of the Nazis. Now under construction, in a couple of years it will offer a better view of the building with a larger museum inside the yard. The current museum section is rather small.
Ognian V — Google review
It can be seen from far away in any direction, that's how monumental it was designed and built like everything in that time. Seeing it from the ground doesn't really do it's justice, so look up some aerial/drone footage too. Currently under some renovation works, hopefully it can be put to a better use than it was designed for.
Maciej P — Google review
An unfinished monument, humongous in size, now being used as multiple different things, from offices to photo shoot place and maybe a theatre in some years. Has a large lake around and a big walkway. So overall a nice place to roam around.
Shashi P — Google review
This building started having built only to emerge as an architectural marvel that would have mesmerized the visitors. It was planned to be used as a Congress Hall. But the work stopped midway due to the war and its outcome. Now the building is abandoned yet maintained and being used as a storage space. They have put up signs at various places explaining the importance and history of the building. A nice place to visit to touch a piece of history.

Sadly it is under construction maintenance. You don’t need tickets to see the plaza, it is free just walk around and find the door.

The City Museum in Fembo House is a restored 1500s former merchant's residence that offers free admission to various attractions and savings on guided tours. It is the only late Renaissance merchant's house in Nuremberg and the sole historical building in the Old Town to survive World War II bombings. Visitors can explore its grand historic rooms, including carved wooden furniture, ceiling paintings, and a traditional kitchen recreation.
The clerk apologized for not having any more English listening devices; as it turned out, we didn’t need them. The museum spoke for itself, containing not only artistic treasures from Nuremberg’s past but the house itself, being one of the only similar mansions to survive the wartime bombing, displayed all manner of ancient and clever German craftsmanship. Indeed, the Fembo mansion is the most important artifact of the museum in my opinion. The museum also does a great job of showing before, during, and after photographs of the wartime bombing. The museum is centrally located, easy to find, and affords wonderful views of the city as it is on a hill near the fortress. We hit the museum before we did anything else in Nuremberg, and it turned out to be a great strategy as our visit to the museum gave us a whole other level of understanding the city as we explored it. Friends and my own research had alerted me to the quality of this museum, and I can confirm that even the most jaded of my party agreed that it was a highlight of our trip.

No visit to the mediaeval city of Nuremberg would be complete without experiencing the Stadtsmuseum in Fembo House- a grand old edifice just up from the Hauptmarket...After receiving a hearty welcome and introduction to the museum my tour began with a short lift ride to the fourth floor offering outstanding vistas of old town Nuremberg....One highlight of the top floor was a computer generated reconstruction of the beautiful Jewish Synagogue brutally demolished in 1938... There are also two faithfully carved models from middle ages Nuremberg... Descending the ornately carved wooden staircase brings you to a veritable managerie of Nuremberg artwork , prints , weapons and unique curios with the tour finally ending at the groundfloor exhibit of graffic , confronting photographs of heavily bombed Nuremberg in 1945...A visit to the Stadtsmuseum is certainly a multifaceted sojourn into the fascinating and tumultuous history of one of Germany's grandest old cities.

City Museum at Fembo House is opened every day except Monday. It is part of the Nurnberg card or you have to purchase a ticket. To get there to best solution is U-Bahn. (Ul/ Ull: Lorenzkirche stop, take exit "Hauptmarkt") This museum is the best place to learn about Nuremberg's history. Lot of nice and original pieces, collection of paintings, audio plays and lot of information about the city. How it grows during the medieval period until nowdays. Highly recommended as very didactic and instructive.

The City Museum at Fembo House is a remarkable testament to Nuremberg's rich history. The former grand merchant's residence has been transformed into a fascinating showcase of the city's past, offering you a glimpse into how it evolved over time. Through its meticulously preserved original rooms, reconstructed settings, and interactive exhibits, the museum vividly illustrates Nuremberg's transformation from a medieval trading hub to a modern metropolis, encompassing both its glorious moments and the scars of war.

The muesum has an interesting VR display where you can look through a telescope to see down Burgerstraß to see what Nürnberg looked like at different points history. If you are like me and you like maps, tucked away in the museum is the Homannia Map office, which has a collection of world maps from about 1720 - 1770.
