Perfect for anyone who wants to experience and rediscover Nuremberg on their own.
Albrecht Dürer's House
It is utterly fascinating to put yourself in the shoes of the world-famous painter in his original living rooms and work space. An additional feature on guided tours is an actress playing the part of Dürer’s wife, Agnes.

Anyone who only has one day in Nuremberg can save on a visit to the huge complex and instead find out all about this historical site using the well-compiled online exhibition.

Imperial Castle - Kaiserburg
Landmark, museum and the best views of the city. The complex consists of two fortresses: the Kaiserburg castle and the Burggrafenburg castle. Its roots go back to the year 1000.

Weißgerbergasse - Tanners' Lane
Not just great for going out: most of the historic protected houses have been preserved in their original condition and convey a great impression of Nuremberg in the late Middle Ages.

Maxbrücke Bridge
The view of the Weinstadel (former Wine depot) and Henkersteg (Hangman's Bridge) is one of the loveliest photo opportunities. The view of the Maxbrücke Bridge itself, the oldest stone bridge in Nuremberg, from the Kettensteg (Chained Suspension Bridge) is also fantastic.
Neues Museum: State Museum for Art and Design
Even visitors who don’t have very much time to spare will still find the striking glass giant by the city wall near the Frauenturm tower a real highlight. The contrast of the old and the new makes a classic photo opportunity.

Hauptmarkt Square
This huge square is always worth a visit, and not just in Advent, when the Christ Child opens the Christmas Market from the gallery of the Frauenkirche Church. You should also remember to rub the golden ring on the Schönen Brunnen fountain - it’s said to bring good luck. Although, locals tend to swear by the black one on the other side of the fountain…
Street-Art in GoHo
The locals in Nuremberg like to call the district of Gostenhof “GoHo”. As with the district of New York that bears a similar name, it is a colourful and inspiring neighbourhood, where Wilhelminian meets post-war architecture. It’s worth visiting for the graffiti alone. And it’s also a great place for shopping and going out.

Castle Gardens
Through this garden complex, a path that is seldom used by visitors forms a lovely route from the Old Town to the Kaiserburg. Shortly before reaching your destination, you get one of the best-known views of the Tiergärtnertorplatz and the castle from the city wall.
Rock cut cellars
Beer cellar, escape rooms, art bunker and theatre all down in the depths: Nuremberg’s underworld can be explored on a number of thrilling guided tours.
