Detailed itinerary

Our first visit will be the Nuremberg castle, first recorded in 1050. In 1140, King Conrad III started building a second castle on the site, to be used as a royal residence.In the 12th century, Nuremberg became an Imperial Free City, and the castle fell into the care of the city.

Stop 2

Our 2nd stop will be the Hauptmarkt, dominated by the front of the unique Gothic Our Lady's Church, provides a picturesque setting for the famous Christmas market. A main attraction on the square is the Gothic Beautiful Fountain erected around 1385 but subsequently replaced with a replica. The original fountain is kept in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. The Nuremberg Ring, now welded within an iron fence of Schöner Brunnen, is said to bring good luck to those that spin it. The unchanged Renaissance bridge Fleischbrücke crosses the Pegnitz nearby.

Stop 3

The Gothic St. Laurence church is one of the most important buildings in Nuremberg.The main body was built around 1270–1350. It is a medieval church of the former free imperial city of Nuremberg. The church was badly damaged during the Second World War and later restored. It is one of the most prominent churches of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria. The even earlier and equally impressive Sebalduskirche is St. Lorenz's counterpart in the northern part of the old city.

St. Sebaldus Church is a medieval church in Nuremberg. Along with Frauenkirche (Our Lady's Church) and Saint Lorenz, it is one of the most important churches of the city, and also one of the oldest. It is located in front of the old city hall. It takes its name from Sebaldus, an 8th-century hermit and missionary and patron saint of Nuremberg. It has been a Lutheran parish church since the Reformation.

Stop 5

The Germanisches Nationalmuseum is Germany's largest museum of cultural history, among its exhibits are works of famous painters such as Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.
