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

October 1, 2021 Mollie Coke

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.

Kettensteg

Reviewed By RjessMMM - Vancouver, United States

The bridge itself is quaint and not very elevated above the river. The view looking both ways is to die for though. Amongst the most picturesque photos that we took the whole trip. We were lucky it was mostly sunny. The sound of water slowly passing under you and watching the waterfowl just made for such a relaxing experience in a busy city. It is very easy to walk to and the surrounding area is spectacular. It is in an area to just get lost in and wander the streets. A must do if you are in Nuremberg. Take care.

Reviewed By therichastill - Stevenage, United Kingdom

This street is just outside the Germanisches Museum. It's worth checking out if you are in the area as it has different languages from around the world. There are benches to sit on so you can rest. I would not say it's a must see attraction but nice to admire if you can.
