Although it is not always Christmas - stroll through Nuremberg with a lovely escort lady and enjoy all sorts of cultural and culinary delights as a couple.
The Franconian Metropolis of Nuremberg
Thinking of the city of Nuremberg certainly many people first think of the famous Nuremberg grilled sausages, which are not to be confused with the larger Franconian Bratwurst. A genuine Nuremberg bratwurst is a maximum of nine centimeters long and 25 grams. The Christkindlesmarkt is also one of the first things that many people think about of the mid-Franconian city of Nuremberg in the Free State of Bavaria, after all, it is clearly the most famous Christmas market in Germany. And this is not without reason: With more than 180 festively decorated stalls and its unique backdrop, each year it is an extraordinary experience and attracts visitors from all over the world. If you visit Nuremberg at Christmas time, you should not stroll through the Christkindlesmarkt without an attractive escort lady.
Nuremberg can look back on a long and exciting history - for the first time, the town was already mentioned in 1050. One of the best known children of the city is the painter Albrecht Dürer, who was born on 21 May 1471 and in the year 1528 died at the height of his work. The house, where the famous painter lived and worked from 1509 until his death, is still preserved and accessible to visitors. There are regular guided tours, in which interested guests learn about the life and work of Albrecht Dürers.
Sights and culture
But Nuremberg is not only the Christkindlesmarkt and Albrecht Dürer. The offer of cultural facilities and events is very rich. Numerous museums on various topics invite tourists to visit, such as the German National Museum, the Motorcycle Museum, the Museum of Industrial Culture, the Kunsthalle or the Kunstbunker. But even the dark chapters of Nuremberg's history are not spared. Since 2001 a modern documentation center provides detailed information on the site of the former Reichsparteitage.
If you prefer to explore Nuremberg in the open, you can do it on your own or join one of the interesting sightseeing tours. There is enough to see, because Nuremberg has many impressive buildings to offer. The Kaiserburg, the landmark of the city, is of course the first place in town. Nuremberg's churches from different eras are also worth a visit. A whole series of splendidly decorated specimens are to be found throughout the city. A very special experience is the discovery of Nuremberg's underworld. The historical cliffs were mentioned for the first time in 1380 and served for centuries to ferment beer.
