About Nuremberg

Why Visit Nuremberg on German Holidays

The second-largest city of Bavaria, one-of-a-kind Nuremberg, is a must-visit destination during any Germany travel. The city is famed for its stunning medieval architecture, art, and exceptional beer.

In the Middle Ages, Nuremberg was one of the most prosperous German cities, and later, at the beginning of the 19th century, it became a place of pilgrimage for artists from all over Europe.

Moreover, the first German railway and the 177-kilometer Ludwig Canal passed through renowned Nuremberg, making it an important hub.

It is also interesting to mention that Nuremberg was one of the favorite cities of Hitler, who claimed that the gothic architecture of the city embodies the best of Germanic culture.

To get a complete image of the city during your Nuremberg tour, consider starting your exploration from the Old Town, which houses the Market Square (called Hauptmarkt) and the city wall.

Without a doubt, save a spot on your travel agenda for the Imperial Castle of Nuremberg. This fortified medieval beauty has made it to our days since the Middle Ages and is an iconic sight.
