Things to do in Nuremberg, Bavaria: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

February 17, 2022 Concepcion Newsome

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.

Beautiful architecture! Don't miss the sacrament house sculpted by Adam Kraft. The incredible art survived the Reformation because families had donated these priceless items to preserve the memory of their loved ones.

We took a stroll through the Old Town of Nuremberg from the castle uphill through the castle opposite the main train station and beyond, and we marvelled at the beautiful medieval buildings and picturesque canal. Later, we visited a museum near the upper castle and we were astonished to see photos of the city of Nuremberg utterly reduced to rubble by WW2 bombing. The reconstruction of this beautiful city is simply amazing and it is well worth a visit for this reason alone. Also, the transport system is integrated and operates with true German efficiency.

A beautiful old bridge in the middle of old town. A great place for photos. Take the time to walk across the bridge.

Weissgerbergasse

Reviewed By DraganDPG - Munich, Germany

The location of this site is some 400 metres west from the main city square, Hauptmarkt. Old timber-framed houses and narrow cobblestone street will take you back centuries ago. Despite Nuremberg had suffered heavily air raids during WW II, here miraculously 22 family houses survived and today represents one of the must see attractions in the Nuremberg Altstadt.

Heard of the new magical rhino a couple of weeks ago. Centered near Hauptmarkt in Nuremberg, this rhino wants to get stroked. Take a wish and enjoy the magic of Nurembergs sleeping rhino. Recommend it!
