Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Altstadt - St. Lorenz, Bavaria
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!

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.

The Heilig Geist Spital - or the Holy Spirit hospice if you like - is 1 of the landmarks of Nuremberg that has more than 500 years of history. For those into history the best would be to have a guide explaining the history behind the place, nonetheless even is you are on your own you can/shall include this place into the must see landmarks of Nuremberg old town. You can access the building and the inner courtyard through the restaurant's portal (you can also check-out the restaurant - very good place to grab some food). Visiting is free of charge. Overall I do recommend you spend some time and check out this place.

The Hangman’s Bridge in Nuremberg was constructed in 1457 as a wooden bridge. In medieval times every German city used to have a hang man and Nuremberg’s one lived in the tower on the wooden roofed bridge above the Pegnitz river. It was reconstructed in 1954.

The walls are well maintained and not something I would have traditionally seen elsewhere. Hard to believe that on the other side is a city centre.
