When people think of Nuremberg, they usually think of gingerbread, toys, Christmas, the Reich Party Rally Grounds, or the Nuremberg Trials. But the old town of Nuremberg is much more than this and indeed Nuremberg probably comes closest to many tourists' expectations of a typical German city: On the one hand one can find half-timbered houses, gothic churches within a medival city wall in the shadow of the towering imperial castle, which was one of the most important residences of the emporers of the Holy Roman Empire. On the other hand Nuremberg and the surrounding cities are home to many well-known German companies, e.g. Adidas, Diehl, Faber-Castell, Playmobil, Puma and several divisions of industrial giant Siemens. Finally, Nuermberg even can live up to culinary expectations with breweries and beergarden and its most famous dish, the Nuremberg sausages with Sauerkraut.

Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is a city that seamlessly blends medieval history with contemporary energy, offering visitors a unique chance to connect with its past while enjoying modern-day attractions. Known as the "City of Emperors", Nuremberg played a key role in the Holy Roman Empire and served as a center for arts, politics, and commerce for centuries.

To truly understand Nuremberg, you need to delve into its rich history, particularly during the Nuremberg Trials after World War II, which were a pivotal moment in post-war justice. The city's Old Town, with its cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and the imposing Nuremberg Castle, evokes the grandeur of medieval Europe and invites you to step back in time. One of the most significant historical aspects of the city is its role in the Nazi era, with the Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds offering a deeper understanding of the city's 20th-century history.

Beyond its history, Nuremberg is also a vibrant cultural hub. The city has an active art scene, with impressive museums, such as the Albrecht Dürer House (dedicated to the famous painter), and modern cultural spaces like the Nuremberg Opera House. The Nuremberg Christmas Market (Christkindlesmarkt) is world-famous, drawing visitors from across the globe to experience the festive atmosphere and enjoy traditional Bavarian food like Nuremberg sausages and gingerbread.

Nuremberg is a place where history, culture, and modern life coexist, offering visitors a chance to engage with the past while enjoying the warmth and hospitality of a modern German city.
