Nuremberg

Nuremberg stretches along the Pegnitz River, surrounded by the Reichswald forest and contains numerous Gothic churches, medieval towers, and stone bridges.

The city became an important trade center in the Middle Ages due to its position between Italy and Northern Europe, gaining independence from regional rulers.

The Albrecht Dürer House maintains a collection of Renaissance art and demonstrates medieval printing techniques through regular demonstrations and exhibitions.

The compact old town allows visitors to reach main sites on foot, with public transportation connecting to the Documentation Center and Zeppelin Field.

The Imperial Castle sits on a sandstone ridge above the city, featuring a deep well, medieval gardens, and a museum of historical weapons.
