Full description

Nuremberg was one of the great cities of the Holy Roman Empire, and its old town still shows it. Your guide leads you up to the Imperial Castle for views over the red roofs, past the half-timbered house of the painter Albrecht Dürer, and down to the Hauptmarkt with its gilded Beautiful Fountain.

Along the way you’ll see the Gothic churches of St. Sebaldus and St. Lorenz, cross the Pegnitz by the old Hangman’s Bridge, and hear how the city was rebuilt after 1945. Nuremberg is about an hour from Munich by fast train.
