For tourists, there is a route called the "Historical Mile of Nuremberg," which includes 25 landmarks. By following it, you can see all the highlights in the shortest time possible. The mile starts at the Frauentor Tower and ends near the Meat Bridge.
However, you can also wander around Nuremberg without a specific plan, as historical sights await travelers at every step. While in the Old Town, make sure to explore the Imperial Castle, the city wall that showcases Nuremberg's former border, the churches of St. Lorenz and St. Sebald. Art enthusiasts should visit the National Museum, the largest in Germany and all German-speaking countries. Families with children will enjoy the local zoo, the Toy Museum, the city observatory, and the planetarium.
Nuremberg hosts numerous exciting events. Twice a year, beer lovers gather at the Volksfest beer festival, and in September, the city hosts the lively Altstadtfest folklore festival. In October, you can visit scientific institutions and universities in Nuremberg during the "Night of Science," and during the "Blue Night," museums and churches are open to visitors until the morning.
