A gorgeous street in town that still has many of the Middle Ages buildings intact and beautifully…read morerestored or painted. Very few places in town survived after the war and although the city is dotted with many older buildings this is one of the few streets that is quite intact with its cobblestone walkway. It takes you down memory lane and, if you can only imagine what these streets were like in their time, it's incredible :-) A must visit if you are in Nuremberg and you can also walk from here along the river to St. Johannis Friedhof which is another beautiful and interesting place to visit and the whole experience takes you back in time.

If you are into World War II History, this is the place for you. Such incredible, if dark, history…read more Amazingly, so much is still left, I am always surprised when I come back and it's all still here. I am sure it was left as grim reminder of what happened here, and I am sure it would be a major undertaking to remove it. Besides, most of the things that happen here are concerts and festivals, a much happier use of the field than it was during the Third Reich. I highly suggest doing some research before coming here, there are many resources to research, many photos and films. You can walk up the steps and actually stand on the same platform where Hitler gave speeches, incredible and eerie at the same time. At night, it is especially eerie and foreboding. There are also many other Nazi remanents nearby, most within walking distance. Again, research the area before you come and plan out your walk.

The so-called Zeppelinfeld is the location for the infamous Nazi rallies of the late 1920s and…read more1930s. One of the few remaining parts of a vast complex intended as the spiritual home of the Nazi party, the rather battered remains nevertheless still give the feel for the scale of the events that are now etched into history. Standing on the rostrum at which Hitler expounded his fascist political philosophy is frankly a rather ambivalent experience: on the one hand, it feels a place of tangible evil: on the other, the dilapidated ruins provide reassurance that such a regime was, and can be, overcome. The main rostrum site is free to enter with ample car-parking: but there are lots of steps and uneven walkways if you want to climb up.

One of the best places to visit in Nuremberg, the Imperial Castle has commanded the skyline since…read morethe Middle Ages. Once a residence of the Holy Roman Emperors, it symbolized both imperial power & the city's strategic importance. We are explored its fortified halls, learn about medieval life & imperial politics, and climbed up to the top of the Sinwell Tower for views over the old town. We stepped down into the Well (Tiefer Brunnen) and entered the Romanesque double chapel. We paid €10 and visit the palace, museums, climbed the tower, and explored the grounds. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon and there wasn't a wait. We saw armor, weapons, religious ornaments from this 800 year-old palace that survived World War II in about 2 hours. There were clean restrooms, a small gift shop & beer garden.

The castle ground is free to roam around. We bought tickets for the tower and deep well for 3.5…read moreeuros. Keep your ticket. You'll need to scan it before and after. Restrooms are free and there's a mini cafe. The Sinwell Tower is 350 meter up, about 100+ steps. "Sinwell" in German means perfectly round so it's up a spiral wooden staircase. We were able to see the courtyard and the view of the city. It gets really windy up here. The deep well tour is every 30 minutes and last for 5 minutes. It's the castle's water supply at 50 meters deep. The water flows horizontally through sandstones and different layers of rocks as a filtration system. Four weeks after the rain, it flows into the deep well and ready for drinking. You'll see a video and a demonstration of the lit candle which proves that there is oxygen in the well.

I walked the cobbled streets in search of the 'carousel fountain' next to the Turm. It was a sight to behold for sure! I can really appreciate the bronze work that was created for the fountain in front of the Turm tower. As I am a bronze sculptor myself. The entire city is amazing and this Turm building with large Center Fountain was both beautiful and shocking to some. I sat on benches just out from of the old brick Turm tower. It was very cold just a few weeks ago. I loved my entire experience in Nuremberg but this tower will be high on my list of favorite things here because of the large bronze sculpture fountain out front. The fountain though looks old, it is fairly recent 1984 was when it was installed I think. It was created to cover a large air vent hole!
