General presentation
Nuremberg
Franconian city of ramparts, castle, muses, Christmas march and memory of the 20th century.
To understand what Nuremberg is, you must look at the Nuremberg Castle, Hauptmarkt and Albrecht-Dürer-Haus. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by urban life, heritage and riverscapes and to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: Thematic historical heavy and very demanding in December. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Château de Nuremberg
Nuremberg Castle dominates the old city and recalls the major political role of the imperial city. The courtyards, ramparts and views of the roofs allow you to understand the medieval organization of the city before going down to the squares and alleys.
Place
Albrecht-Dürer-Haus
The Albrecht-Dürer-Haus brought the house and workshop associated with the painter into the Renaissance Nuremberg. The visit is more meaningful for those who like to connect a work to a neighborhood, an era and concrete work gestures.
Place
Christkindlesmarkt
The Christkindlesmarkt transforms the centre of Nuremberg into a highly codified Christmas market, between wooden stands, spice breads, decorations and hot spices. The experience is especially valid in season, when the crowd is part of the atmosphere but invites to come early or week.
