Vacation Inspiration "Design and Progress - Around the Augustinerhof"

Description

The Augustinerhof district offers a truly unique experience: here, modern design and forward-thinking architecture blend harmoniously with the historic atmosphere of Nuremberg’s Old Town. A central part of this impressive complex is the boutique and design hotel Karl August. Here, you’ll find not only stylishly designed rooms, but also the finest culinary creations at Brasserie Nitz, as well as delectable pastries and first-class coffee specialties at the cozy Pique Nique café. Right next door, the Deutsche Museum Nürnberg—the “Museum of the Future,” also located within the complex—invites you on a fascinating journey of discovery. Here, everything revolves around the world of tomorrow: How will we live in the coming decades? How will technology and society continue to evolve? Five interactive and spacious themed areas are dedicated to these exciting questions. For an authentic Franconian meal, the restaurant “DIE WIRTSCHAFT” is the ideal spot. Just a few minutes’ walk from the Augustinerhof, this cozy restaurant—complete with a beer garden—offers modern, light Franconian cuisine and smooth beer, including the popular house-brewed “Freidla.” For more personalized and accessible excursion tips, our staff at the Tourist Information office on the Hauptmarkt—located just a stone’s throw away—are always happy to assist you.
