Nuremberg, Germany

Why Walk Nuremberg

Nuremberg's old town, enclosed by five kilometers of medieval walls with round towers, was carefully rebuilt after heavy wartime bombing. The Imperial Castle, perched on sandstone cliffs above the city, was used by Holy Roman Emperors and offers commanding views. Below, the Hauptmarkt hosts the famous Christkindlesmarkt, Germany's most celebrated Christmas market. The Albrecht Durer House, where the Renaissance master lived and worked, is a highlight, and the Germanisches Nationalmuseum is the largest museum of German culture. Nuremberg's 20th-century history is confronted honestly at the Documentation Centre, built into the unfinished Nazi Congress Hall, and the Courtroom 600 where the Nuremberg Trials took place. The Handwerkerhof, a recreated artisan courtyard, and the local Nuremberg bratwurst served three-in-a-bun add lighter touches.
