When thinking about the neighbouring city of Nuremberg, some people think of Albrecht Durer or a imperial castle, the other on Christkindlesmarkt, gingerbread and bratwurst. But the city has much more to offer: surrounded by the historic city wall, the Old town an exciting mix of historic buildings, contemporary architecture and small green oases A diverse museum landscape, numerous shopping opportunities and culinary offerings perfectly round off a visit to Nuremberg. In summer, numerous Open-air events outdoors: whether it's a picnic and classical music in the park, fascinating light installations in the old town or Franconian beer in the castle moat, there's something for everyone.
The city impressively demonstrates its responsibility towards its own past in the documentation centre Reichsparteitagsgelände, which illustrates the causes, connections, and consequences of Nazi rule. The gigantic building remains on the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds still bear witness to the regime's megalomania. In the Nuremberg Trials Memorial, visitors can learn about the Nuremberg Trials in the permanent exhibition, alongside the famous Room 600.
A unique atmosphere is created at the end of the year in the festively decorated old town: in the seductive scent of Gingerbread, mulled winen and Bratwursts The Nuremberg Christmas market enchants its visitors and gets them in the mood for the festival of festivals with its romantically lit stalls selling handmade Christmas decorations and culinary delicacies.
