Franconia’s unofficial capital is best known for its famous Christmas market and delicious Nuremberg sausages – but the city has so much more to offer.
Discover the picturesque medieval old town with its narrow lanes, half-timbered houses, museums and cozy cafés. Towering above the old town is the impressive Imperial Castle, definitely worth a visit and offering one of the most beautiful views over Nuremberg.
Among Nuremberg’s top sights are the Imperial Castle, the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Frauenkirche, Kettensteg bridge and the banks of the Pegnitz river. A must for Christmas lovers is also a visit to Käthe Wohlfahrt – where it is Christmas all year round.
Good to know: Nuremberg can be reached from the place in around 25 minutes.
A day trip to Erlangen is well worth it. At first glance, the Huguenot city appears calm and elegant – but on second glance, it surprises with a youthful and lively atmosphere. As a university city, Erlangen is shaped by internationality, research and vibrant energy.
The old town invites you with small boutiques, charming cafés, traditional beer gardens and a very special character. The Botanical Garden, the spacious Palace Garden, as well as the Huguenot Church and its tower are among Erlangen’s highlights you should not miss.
The charming cloverleaf city of Fürth is still considered something of an insider tip in Franconia. A walk through its listed old town feels like stepping back into the city’s fascinating history. Between lovingly restored buildings, many small restaurants and cafés invite you to enjoy coffee, local treats and a relaxing break.
Among Fürth’s most attractive sights are the City Theatre, St Michael’s Church, Gustavstraße, the Town Hall, the many beautiful parks and the diverse events held in the Grüne Halle.
Fürth is ideal for anyone looking for relaxed sightseeing and authentic Franconian flair – and is only around 25 minutes from Herzogenaurach.
