More to do and see in Nuremberg
Nuremberg has a rich history which is present in numerous museums, buildings and sights throughout the city. The most characterizing being the Imperial Castle – right in front of the Dürer Hotel. Take a walk through the city center and you will see beautiful buildings from a time, when Nuremberg was a prosperous trading center, connecting Eastern Europe with the western countries. The Tucher Mansion being a great example of how Nuremberg’s patrician families build their luxurious city residences in Nuremberg. Even though Nuremberg was largely destroyed by the bombs during World War II, great efforts were made to restore it to its original charm.
The Third Reich history has not been forgotten in Nuremberg. The Nazi Party Rally Grounds being just one of the things you should not miss. It is now an educational Documentation Center, providing information about the time of the Nazi Party regime. You can either visit the Museum in the unfinished Congress Hall or go for a walk and visit the grounds with its information panels. Or you can visit the Memorium Nuremberg Trials – Courtroom 600 and see where the legendary Nuremberg Trials took place.
If you feel like visiting another one of Nuremberg’s Museums go spend some time in the National Germanic Museum with its great exhibitions about German culture, from prehistoric times until today. Entering or leaving the Museum you will have to pass through the Way of Human Rights – a monumental outdoor sculpture by the Israeli artist Dani Karavan.
