Nuremberg
The half-million city of Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is one of the strongest economically regions of Germany. This is a modern city, seething with life, in which the historical past creates a special atmosphere and comfort, inviting everyone to explore. There are many attractions in the Old Town, and to see everything, you need to go along the Nuremberg Historical Mile, a popular tourist route laid in 2000, when the city celebrated its 950th anniversary.
The city stands on the river, which in the Old Town is divided into many canals. On a rocky mountain above the river (the name of the city translates as "rocky mountain") stands an old castle, formerly a fortified residence of the German kings.
Sights of Nuremberg
The historical mile will take you along the oldest street of the city of Königstrasse, from the Royal Gate with a huge viewing tower to the St. Martha Church, past the German National Museum (the largest museum of history and culture in Germany), the largest St. Lorenz church in Nuremberg, to Hauptmarkt square with the 17-meter-high sculpture of the Schöne Brunnen fountain (The Beautiful Fountain) and the famous Maenleinlaufen clock of the early 16th century.
Worth to visit toy museum, where there are exhibits of all eras of different cultures, and house museum famous artist Albrecht Durerwho lived here and worked until his death in 1528, a brewing museum and a transport museum.
Nuremberg fountains - this is generally a separate tour. Starting from the already mentioned "Beautiful fountain"and ending with a fountain"Marital Carousel"by modern creation Jürgen Weber, a lot of allegorical figures showing both the positive and negative sides of family life.
The city became famous in the postwar years for the trial of fascist war criminals held here in the jury court. But this is far from the only glory of the city. Here were made the world's first pocket watch and the very first globe, back in pre-Columbian times. They always made great toys and cooked famous sausages. Nuremberg is a city in which there is something to see and which will tell you a lot of interesting things.
How do I save on hotels?
Everything is very simple - look not only at the booking. I prefer the search engine RoomGuru. He is looking for discounts at the same time on Booking and on 70 other booking sites.
