About Nuremberg

Nuremberg is an old medieval city situated in southern Germany. When people think of Nuremberg, they usually think of gingerbread, toys or Christmas. But the old town of Nuremberg in the shadow of the towering imperial castle is more than that. Gothic churches, splendid patricians’ houses and romantic corners and spots. An atmosphere of lively co-existence between medieval and modern, between the past and the present, prevails in Nuremberg.
