With half a million people, Nuremberg is Bavaria's second largest city. While its history dates to the 11th century, Nuremberg is most often linked to the 20th century (specifically World War II). It first served as the site of many pre-war Nazi rallies, then was nearly leveled by Allied bombing, then was the site of the famous post-war Nuremberg Trials. The city has much to offer today's visitors, including the rebuilt Nuremberg Castle and the world-famous gingerbread at Hauptmarkt. Hansel and Gretel would have loved this place.

The first globe ever made is here! This well-laid out museum has something for everyone, from bronze age implements to medical weapons, to Durer artwork. We spent about 3 hours here, well worth the visit!

The Women's Tower is only a short distance across the road from Nuremberg Hauptbahnhof. The tourist information centre is at the foot of the tower too so it is quite a focal point. Unfortunately I did not find out much in terms of the history of the tower however I love the style of it and for a guy from the South of England it's very different architecture from what I am used to.
