There’s far more to Nuremberg than its dramatic 20th Century history. The unofficial capital of the Holy Roman Empire for hundreds of years and later a bustling powerhouse of the industrial revolution, this lively city is the gateway to Bavaria for travellers from around the world. Brilliant for a city break or a longer trip around a spectacular part of Germany, Nuremberg offers a good selection of smart accommodation options for a range of tastes and budgets. Most of the best places to stay in Nuremberg are also appealingly central — perfect for on-foot sightseeing.
Begin your explorations in the Old Town, much of which was painstakingly reconstructed in the decades after the Second World War. The castle — a group of fortified medieval buildings set atop a ridge — dominates the Old Town skyline. A testament to the power of the Holy Roman Empire, it offers a fascinating insight into Nuremberg’s history. Germany’s largest museum of cultural history, the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, is another highlight, as are the Academy of Fine Arts, the 14th-century Hospital of the Holy Spirit and the 13th-century Gothic Lorenzkirche.
Cross the striking Kettensteg Chain Bridge — the first of its kind on the continent — stroll through the beautiful Tiergarten Zoo on Schmausenbuck Hill, and catch a performance at the Nuremberg State Theatre or the popular annual ‘Rock im Park’. Finally, the Palace of Justice hosts a permanent exhibition about the ground-breaking Nuremberg Trials; an essential part of the city’s past. With so much to see and do, it’s unsurprising that the best places stay in Nuremberg fill up fast, particularly during the summer months.
