Nuremberg Castle (Kaiserburg) and Albrecht Dürer are indelibly associated with Nuremberg. But there are also many other interesting sights to be discovered. In the picturesque old town, Romanesque and Gothic churches, fountains, monuments and markets are within walking distance of each other.

There is also plenty to explore outside the city centre. On a tour of the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds (Reichsparteitagsgelände), for example, you can learn how the city approaches its National Socialist heritage. In the Nuremberg Zoo, on the other hand, you can marvel at the diversity of species while relaxing in the greenery.

Museums

Nuremberg's museum landscape invites you to see and marvel: In addition to the largest collection of German art and culture at the Germanische Nationalmuseum and Dürer's own house, Nuremberg is also home to many other museums that are steeped in history and rich in experience. In the Toy Museum (Spielzeugmuseum), for example, you can admire old and new toy treasures, while the Bratwurst Museum or the Club Museum of the 1st FC Nuremberg offer rather unusual collections.

The municipal museums bring history vividly to life with guided tours and theatrical enactments.

Theatre & Film

Staatstheater Nürnberg and its Opera House may dominate the city’s theatrical life with opera, plays and ballets, but numerous independent theatres also enrich the scene. Puppeteers, another fixture, come to Nuremberg from all over the world for the International Puppet Theatre Festival. The city’s eleven Kulturläden – “Culture Shops” – are local social and cultural centres for their districts, and have come to be national role models.

For film fans, the city offers not just one of the largest, most up-to-date multiplexes in Europe, but also fine small art houses and film theatres.
