Destination: Nuremberg Germany
It's the second largest city in Bavaria.
in the festive season, people from all over the world visit the famous Christkindlesmarkt on the Hauptmarkt.
Nuremberg (Nürnberg) was the center of the German Renaissance, melding the Italian Renaissance with the German Gothic traditions.
On January 2, 1945, 525 British bombers destroyed over 90% of the old section of Nuremberg, the center of Third Reich ideology.
Nuremberg Quick Facts
Nuremberg is located 105 miles NW of Munich in the Southern German region of Bavaria. It is the largest city in Franconia.
Getting to Nuremberg
Nürnberg Flughafen is 6km (4 miles) north of the city center. A small airport, it is served by 14 airlines.
The Train Station (Haupbahnhof) is located on the southeast side of the Old City or Altstadt. A half-hour walk links the station with the medieval castle, and passes through many of the city's sites along the way (for a map, see page 2 of this feature.
Languages
While German is, of course, the main language used in Nuremberg, English is widely spoken and taught in schools. Most restaurants in the town center offer English menus, many with quite interesting translations. Unlike Munich, you might have to struggle a bit in restaurants, but it's worth it--the food is quite good.
Hotels
[Note that prices refer to a 2002 visit]
Walking toward the Old City from the train station, the Information office is just inside the city walls. You can inquire here about hotels, or just walk around the area. There are plenty of hotels in the area around the station. When you exit the station toward the old city, you'll walk up a ramp. Cross the street to the right and on the corner will be the information office. If you continue straight ahead, there will be hotels on both sides of the street.
at Frauentormauer 42, located just inside the medieval city wall, has private rooms starting at $22.50 , and dorm rooms starting at $14.32. You can make on online reservation
here .
Restaurants
If the weather is nice, Head over to the little square opposite the Albrecht-Dürer-Haus and eat outside at Gaststätte Schranke "Schlenkerla." The views in every direction are superb. Dinner for two with 4 large glasses of excellent wine and a small plate of Nuremberg bratwurst as an appetizer ran a reasonable €36. (Nuremberg is reputed to have the best sausage and beer in Germany.)
Tipping in Germany
While service is included in the bill, generally waiters are tipped 5% for good service. Nuremberg Special Attractions
Albrecht Dürer House - Exhibits devoted to Dürer's life and works.You'll see original etchings and woodcuts and copies of Dürer's paintings inside. Admission €4.10 for adults.
Kaiserburg (The Nuremberg Castle) Looming over the Dürer House, from 1050 to 1571 it was the official residence of the German kings and emperors, including Frederick Barbarossa, King of Germany in 1152, Crowned emperor in 1154.
Historic Art Shelter (Kunstbunker) At the start of the second world war, prudent officials transformed some former beer cellars in the flanks of the castle hill into a secure and quite technological art shelter. German tours at 3pm, other languages by appointment. [

Nazi Rally Party Grounds You can visit the grounds, and then go to the museum. The Documentation CentreNazi Party Rally Grounds is located in the north wing of the Congress Hall, a building planned by the National Socialists to hold 50,000 people but never completed. [

Austria Essentials: Restaurants You'll have a wide variety of eating places, including coffee houses, heurigen (wine bars) and pubs. In general, Austria restaurant food and service is remarkably well done, and not all of it is as heavy as you might expect. Still, you can dine on traditional Schnitzel (thin cut, usually of veal, breaded and fried) and Wiener Backhendl (chicken). To test if a Wiener Schnitzel is up to par, it can be sat upon in white trousers and should not leave a grease mark. This course of action is recommended only for brave souls with unlimited resources for buying trousers.
